The Ewon Flexy range combines secure industrial remote access with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data collection, monitoring and integration. It allows original equipment manufacturers, system integrators and industrial operators to connect to PLCs, HMIs, sensors and other automation equipment through Talk2m, while also collecting machine data for analysis, alarms, dashboards and wider business systems.

Unlike a gateway used only for remote troubleshooting, Ewon Flexy can support both remote machine access and ongoing data projects. This makes the range suitable for organisations that need to diagnose equipment remotely, monitor performance, collect operational data or transfer information from industrial assets to local or cloud-based applications.

Ewon Flexy For Remote Access And IIoT Data

Ewon Flexy gateways can provide authorised engineers with VPN access to machines through the Talk2m industrial cloud. This can support PLC troubleshooting, HMI access, configuration work and remote technical support without requiring an engineer to attend every site.

The same gateway can collect and log data from PLCs, sensors and other industrial devices. Depending on the model, extension cards and configuration, Ewon Flexy can support:

  • Secure VPN access through Talk2m
  • PLC, HMI and machine troubleshooting
  • Data collection from industrial equipment
  • Historical data logging
  • Alarm notifications
  • Local and cloud-based KPI dashboards
  • OPC UA communication
  • MQTT and HTTPS data transfer
  • Integration with third-party systems through APIs
  • Basic and Java scripting for tailored applications

These functions allow engineering teams to use Ewon Flexy for more than remote maintenance. The gateway can also form part of condition monitoring, performance reporting, production visibility and wider IIoT projects.

Ewon Flexy Models And Connectivity Options

The Ewon Flexy category includes several base gateway models designed around different industrial connection requirements:

  • Ewon Flexy 201: A gateway based around four Ethernet ports
  • Ewon Flexy 202: A gateway with a serial interface
  • Ewon Flexy 203: A gateway with an MPI interface
  • Ewon Flexy 205: A multipurpose IIoT data gateway that supports interchangeable extension cards

The Ewon Flexy 205 provides a modular route for projects where communication requirements may change. Available extension options include Ethernet WAN, Wi-Fi, regional mobile connectivity, serial ports, MPI, USB and industrial input and output connections.

Not every model or extension card will suit every installation. Selection should be based on the existing machine interface, internet connection, industrial protocol, site region and the type of data that needs to be collected.

Ewon Flexy And Ewon Cosy+ Compared

Both Ewon Flexy and Ewon Cosy+ use Talk2m to support industrial remote connectivity, but they are intended for different levels of functionality.

Ewon Cosy+ is commonly selected where the main requirement is secure remote access for troubleshooting, maintenance and configuration. Ewon Flexy adds wider data functions, including data logging, alarms, dashboards, industrial protocol support, scripting and data transfer to local or cloud systems.

Ewon Flexy may therefore be more suitable where an organisation needs to:

  • Collect and store machine data
  • Monitor operational performance
  • Generate alarms from industrial data
  • Send information to enterprise or cloud applications
  • Build a tailored IIoT integration
  • Combine remote access with ongoing machine monitoring

Customers who only require remote machine access may find an Ewon Cosy+ more appropriate. Where remote access and data collection are both required, Ewon Flexy is likely to provide the broader platform.

Choosing The Right Ewon Flexy Gateway

Choosing an Ewon Flexy gateway requires more than matching a product name to a purchasing record. The correct model will depend on the machine, PLC or controller interface, the available site connection and the intended use of the collected data.

Important points to consider include:

  • Whether the machine uses Ethernet, serial or MPI communication
  • Which PLCs, HMIs, sensors or other devices need to be connected
  • Whether internet access will use Ethernet, Wi-Fi or a mobile network
  • Whether the gateway is required for remote access, data collection or both
  • Which industrial protocols need to be supported
  • Whether data will remain on site or be transferred to another system
  • Requirements for alarms, dashboards, APIs or scripting
  • Regional compatibility for mobile extension cards
  • Cabinet space, antenna requirements and existing network policy
  • Firmware, extension card and product compatibility

We help customers select the right Ewon gateway and extension cards before ordering. This can reduce the risk of unsuitable hardware, missing interfaces or delays during installation.

For industrial organisations planning wider secure remote access or machine-data projects, we can also help assess how the gateway, Talk2m account, user permissions and data connections should work together.
