The role of the Cosy+ is to establish a secure VPN connection between your machine and yourself, wherever you are and whenever you want. The connection happens through Talk2M, a highly secured cloud-based remote connectivity service dedicated to industrial solutions.
Thanks to Talk2M, engineers can remotely access to their PLC, HMI or other devices inside the machine, for maintenance or monitoring, from anywhere in the world and from any device, even from a smartphone. Cosy+ allows to avoid unnecessary on-site visits, and therefore to save huge amounts of time and money while providing a major long term competitive advantage.

The Ewon Cosy+ is an industrial VPN gateway designed to offer secure remote access across the Internet, to machines and equipment at customers’ sites or in the field.
EASIER THAN EASY | Straightforward setup, to make any machine IIoT-ready in a matter of minutes. Non-intrusive outbound connections, requiring no change on the existing network. Reach your equipment in 2 clicks, wherever it is. |
NO HIDDEN COSTS | Start immediately with a free Talk2M account, supporting an unlimited number of devices and users. Connect from any device, with the free desktop, web and mobile apps. |
IT APPROVED | Trusted chain from Hardware to the Cloud:
Manage the connectivity of all your machines and collaborators from one place. |
READY TO USE AND RELIABLE | 35+ servers spread worldwide for coverage and maximal business continuity. Global and reliable infrastructure, with an extensive Service Level Agreement. Scalability: add at any time as many devices and users as you need. Email & SMS relay services, to receive notifications from your machine. |
Remote access possibilities:
Using the Ewon Cosy, you can remotely connect to your PLC using its Ethernet port or its USB interface.
USB device support depends on the compatibility between the USB driver used on the PC and the Talk2M USB integration.
In principle, all PLC models with an Ethernet port are supported.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of some of the compatible devices for major PLC brands:
Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley | SLC5/500 Series (over Eth) Micro/Compact/Control Logix Series (over Eth/USB) |
