At each local data collection site, the local collection devices are arranged so as to identify and collect the data originating from acquisition devices, which data is transported on a first communication network serving the local site, and containing a local storage device for storing this data. The central site contains a device for transferring, via a second communication network, the data stored in each local site in the local collection device to the central monitoring and processing device, each data transfer being asynchronously initiated by the local collection device concerned at a moment in time or within a time interval which has been determined beforehand and communicated by the central monitoring and processing device. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The aim of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a system for remote data collection from a set of local collection sites to a central site which contains central monitoring and processing means, each local site containing local means for data collection and being connected to a communication network.
According to the invention, the remote data collection system is characterized in that: at each local site, the local collection means are arranged so as to identify and collect data originating from acquisition devices which is transmitted over a first local area network serving said local site, and include local means for storing this data, and in that moreover the central site includes means for receiving via a second network, in particular a telephone network, the data stored at each local site in the local collection means in order to be processed by the central means of monitoring and processing, each data transfer being initiated by the local collection means concerned at a moment in time which has been determined beforehand and communicated by the central means of monitoring and processing.
In this way, with the system according to the invention, the data collected locally is not processed locally, but simply stored prior to transfer to a central site where it is then processed, this transfer being controlled at the central site.
Consequently it is no longer necessary to provide the local collection means with complex means for the identification of the organisation of the collected data, this identification being transferred to the central site.
The first communication network is a local area network (LAN) which can use wire, fiber-optic or radio-frequency means.
This network can be, for example, an electrical distribution network over which a transmission technique by carrier currents is used.
The second network is a wide-area network (WAN) and more generally any network for long-distance communication, with circuit or packet switching or also leased lines
