Abstract

An equipment monitoring system includes a control unit that switches a detection operation mode of a detector between a simple detection mode where the detector periodically performs a momentary detection operation, and a detailed detection mode where the detector performs a continuous detection operation. In the simple detection mode, a diagnosis unit diagnoses whether an operating state of monitored equipment is a normal state or a state requiring caution based on results of detection by the detector. In the simple detection mode, the control unit maintains the simple detection mode when the diagnosis unit has diagnosed that the operating state of the monitored equipment is a normal state, and switches the detection operation mode of the detector from the simple detection mode to the detailed detection mode when the diagnosis unit has diagnosed that the operating state of the monitored equipment is a state requiring caution.
