The image-forming apparatus has a plurality of detectors for outputting detection data comprising detection results of the operating statuses of a plurality of component members constituting the image-forming apparatus, and detection results of various types of detection sensors inside and outside of the image-forming apparatus. Furthermore, the image-forming apparatus is provided with one data line for supplying detection data to an image-forming controller; one identification signal line for supplying an identification signal, which specifies one detector from among the plurality of detectors, from the image-forming controller; one time-interval signal line for supplying a time-interval signal, which specifies a validation time-interval for the identification signal, and a validation time-interval for the detection data; and a detection identification controller, which identifies a pertinent detector based on the identification signal and the time-interval signal, validates only detection data of the identified detector, and supplies the detection data to the image-forming controller via the data line. |
