Cloud service Talk2M for EWON Cosy and Flexy routers

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.

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.

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.

Do you use one or more Talk2M free accounts? Have you found that this solution is no longer enough and that you need Talk2M light or Talk2M pro? This guide will show you:

• how to upgrade your existing Talk2M free account to Talk2M light or Talk2M pro,
• how to import Ewon devices from one or more Talk2M free accounts into the upgraded account,
• how to create a group of routers in the upgraded account and assign users to it, including access rights.

The Talk2M cloud service allows EWON router users to easily and securely connect to their devices/machines remotely via the Internet from anywhere in the world. Until now, two types of service have been available – Talk2M free and Talk2M pro. From 2 May 2024, a new, affordable account type – Talk2M light – will be available. In addition, the rules for the free account will change.

Are you using Ewon Cosy or Flexy routers for remote access and wondering which Talk2M remote access service is right for you? We've put together some arguments to help you decide.

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.

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.
