Abstract
A collector included in a data collection apparatus performs data collection to collect data from a PLC. A controller included in the data collection apparatus determines whether the collector is valid depending on whether the collector at a time when an instruction to start the data collection is provided matches the collector at a preset time, and causes the collector to start the data collection in response to the collector being valid.
