Remote management and data acquisition from PLCs, HMIs, robots and industrial PCs
Connect securely to PLC, HMI panel, robot or industrial computer and carry out machine servicing and diagnostics without having to travel to the production plant. We can also assist with the collection and transfer of data to OPC UA, MQTT, databases, visualisations, SCADA, MES, ERP or cloud applications.
Do you need remote access, data acquisition, or both?
We will discuss the type of PLC and equipment, the method of connecting to the internet, the required security measures and other uses for the data collected, and we will recommend a suitable solution.
Manuals, safety information and IT documentation
Prepare for the initial connection and approval by your company’s IT department. You’ll find FOXON guides, diagnostics and secure connection instructions all in one place.
More about choosing remote access and data acquisition from machines
Select a solution based on the required features
A secure industrial router is usually sufficient for remote servicing alone. For alarms, storing historical data or transferring data to other systems, a solution with advanced data acquisition features is required.

VIDEO guide to remote management of PLCs/HMIs/PCs via Ewon routers
Ewon industrial routers are rightly among the most widely used global solutions for the remote management of PLC control systems, robots, industrial computers and HMI panels via the Internet. Simply managing systems remotely is no longer enough, and Ewon routers are the only ones that can offer you so much more. They can read (and write) data from remote PLC control systems such as SIEMENS, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, Omron, Schneider, Modbus and others. This data is sent via the Internet to your computer, where you can store it in a database and display it in visualisations or in Power BI reports. Find out more in our video guide.
How to Meet NIS2 Requirements: Secure Remote Access with Ewon Routers and W&T Firewalls
The European NIS2 directive introduces new obligations for companies in protecting against cyber threats. Below, we compare these requirements with the technical measures in IEC 62443 and show how to meet them easily using Ewon industrial routers, the secure Talk2M cloud service, and firewalls from the German manufacturer W&T.
Talk2M connectivity for Ewon 141 and CD routers will end in 2027. Get a new replacement now at a better price.
Do you have an older Ewon Cosy 141 or Ewon CD device in production or “sitting in a drawer”? Then pay attention. For these older models, remote access via the Talk2M service will only be available until the end of 2027.
Ewon in Action: ŽĎAS Demonstrates Intelligent Use of Industrial Routers
The most frequent users of Ewon industrial routers are machine and equipment manufacturers. The remote access capability of these routers enables them to communicate with the control systems of the machines they manufacture and sell, even if they are on the other side of the world. In addition, Ewon Flexy makes it possible to collect data from machines and make it available to customers via visualisation. One of the companines that cleverly use all the benefits of these routers is the leading Czech engineering company ŽĎAS.
