A data collection system (13) includes: a contact information acquisition unit (1311), for obtaining contact information; a state recognition unit (1312), 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 (1313), for transforming into coded contact associated information the state information obtained by the state recognition unit; and an output unit (1314), for transmitting to an output apparatus (14) contact information obtained by the contact information acquisition unit and for transmitting to a network apparatus (132) 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. |
