Abstract: A monitoring system is described, to monitor the condition of an industrial wiring system provided with a multipolar electric cable with a number of electric conductors having a power and/or data transmission function and enclosed inside a protective sheath, wherein: monitoring conductors, to monitor wear of the electric cable, are arranged inside the protective sheath electrically insulated from the electric conductors; and a monitoring device is operatively coupled to the monitoring conductors so as to detect at least one electric parameter associated with the monitoring conductors to detect the wear of the electric cable and generate corresponding monitoring data. The monitoring device obtains its own power supply from, and/or transmits the monitoring data by means of, the electric conductors of the same electric cable.
