1. A status change data gathering apparatus comprising:
- a status change detector for detecting and transmitting data representing changes in a process or an apparatus;
a processor connected to said status change detector for receiving and collecting said detected data representing said changes in said process or said apparatus;
said processor providing a schedule for a communication channel connected between said processor and said status change detector, said schedule being adopted to set a time interval for determining the time for receiving said detected data and a time duration for setting a predetermined time period when said data may be received, said processor transmitting said data to said status change detector, said data having been calculated in accordance process or apparatus is outside of predetermined limits with additional data corresponding to another status change detector.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for communication with a remote device 250 by a node system 200 and a SCADA system 100. The SCADA system 100 communicates with the remote device without protocals or characteristics of the remote device 250 or the communication channel 270 connecting the remote device to the node system. A display 250 may monitor the communication channel 270 and may be remotely located with respect to the node system 200. The node system 200 may schedule the input from the remote device 250 by setting an interval and duration so that the input may be transmitted.
