Data output apparatus and data collection system

Abstract

A data output apparatus (10) includes a sensor (100), a relay apparatus (200), and a wireless communication apparatus (300). The sensor (100) generates data. The wireless communication apparatus (300) transmits the data. The relay apparatus (200) is located between the sensor (100) and the wireless communication apparatus (300). The sensor (100) and the relay apparatus (200) are connected by using a first cable (410), and the relay apparatus (200) and the wireless communication apparatus (300) are connected by using a second cable (420). Then, the relay apparatus (200) processes the data output from the sensor (100), and then outputs the processed data to the wireless communication apparatus (300).
