Power off is easy. The shutdown command can do that, specifically

shutdown -P now

(assuming that you have secure remote root access in to the computer).

Power cycle (sort of) is easy. The shutdown command can do that, specifically

shutdown -r now

The above apply to the fit-PC2i. Maybe someone can confirm that the above also apply to the fit-PC2.

Did you need remote power on too? Maybe you can do that with wake-on-LAN (WOL) ?? but you would therefore need any relevant network equipment to be itself powered on first and it would need to support WOL.

PS The fit-PC2i is supposed to be "auto on" i.e. if the power comes on then the device comes on. Hence if you don't power the device off yourself, you shouldn't have the need to power the device on remotely. Is that going to meet your requirement?

Please describe in some detail what equipment of any type is present at the remote location, other than the fit-PC2.

Such equipment includes but is not limited to how the fit-PC2 is powered and what the network, if any, looks like.

OK, so with the fit-PC there is a robot.

Does the fit-PC control the robot?

Is the robot connected to the fit-PC in any way? (wired or wireless)

Is there any network where the fit-PC is? If so, please describe.

I assume that both the fit-PC and the robot have power but how are they powered?

Is there some reason why you want to switch off the fit-PC? If you don't switch it off and it has the "auto on" option then you should never need to switch the fit-PC on. The fit-PC will simply be "on" if there is power and "off" if there is no power.
