<p>A data collection system includes: a contact information acquisition unit , for obtaining contact information; a state recognition unit , for obtaining, based on contact information acquired by the contact information acquisition unit, state information concerning the state of a equipment; a state coding unit , for transforming into coded contact associated information the state information obtained by the state recognition unit; and an output unit , for transmitting to an output apparatus contact information obtained by the contact information acquisition unit and for transmitting to a network apparatus contact associated information obtained by the state coding unit. With this arrangement, information concerning the operation of a equipment can be easily obtained, without requiring the reconstruction of a equipment or a great change in a sequence program, such as a programmable controller, mounted in the equipment.</p> |
