Remote Management and Remote Data Collection from PLCs
Connect securely to a PLC, HMI panel, robot or industrial computer and carry out machine service and diagnostics without travelling to the production plant. We also help collect and transfer data to OPC UA, MQTT, databases, visualisation systems, SCADA, MES, ERP or cloud applications.
Do you need remote access, data collection, or both?
We will discuss the PLC and device types, internet connection, required security and how the collected data will be used, then recommend a suitable solution.

VIDEO guide to remote access via Ewon routers
Ewon industrial routers are rightly one of the world's most widely used solutions for remote management of PLCs, robots, industrial computers and HMI panels over the Internet. Today, remote management alone is no longer enough and Ewon routers are the only ones to offer you much more. They can read (and write) data from remote PLC control systems from SIEMENS, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, Omron, Schneider, Modbus, etc. They send this data over the Internet to your computer, where you save it in a database and display it in visualizations or 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.
Remote access to Ewon routers from WEB browser via M2Web
The M2Web service enables mobile access to Ewon routers from any computer, tablet or smartphone via any web browser via the Talk2M cloud. In other words, this means that you don't need to install the eCatcher.exe software on your computer or phone.
