Abstract: A car monitoring system includes: a sub-system to execute a predetermined function by controlling at least one instrument mounted on a railcar; and a monitoring device to monitor an operating state of the sub-system. The sub-system includes: a sub-system controller to create status data containing pieces of event information based on a signal output from the instrument and periodically transmit the status data to the monitoring device, the information informing the monitoring device of a change in state of the instrument; and a first memory to store a first event parameter file defines a data structure of an event region of the status data, the event region being a region wherein the information are stored. When the first parameter file is changed, and the sub-system controller creates the status data, the controller reconstructs the data structure of the region and resets the information in accordance with the reconstructed data structure.
