To provide a information collecting device having stable quality which have a function as to collect various data from a information generating source for manufacturing steps without programming.

A information collecting device is arranged so as to collect arbitrary information from data generating source (machines or persons). In this production process, a motion defining data file 8 constituting one picture plane, a drive part 1 incorporating a function in which the drive part 1 is operated in an event drive type drive method while the motion defining data file 8 is referred to, a defined data analyzing part 6, and a data memory part 7. With this arrangement, the arrangement of the picture plane and the function are modelized, so as to develop data. Thereby, it is possible to develop a high quality information collecting device without the necessity of professional knowledge and import efficiency of the development and the maintenance capability.
