Stride MQTT Gateway User Manual, 1st Edition
Hardware Overview
The Stride MQTT Gateway is an industrial device specifically designed to implement an Industrial Internet
of Things (IIoT) data collection system. It allows bidirectional communication between Modbus field
equipment and an MQTT broker. It provides a Modbus RTU master interface on RS-485 and Modbus
TCP over Ethernet. Variables can be read from Modbus slave devices on change or at fixed time intervals and
are sent to the MQTT broker with optional SSL/TLS client certificate authentication.
The Wi-Fi model (Part No. SGW-MQ1611-WF) uses 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac in 2400MHz or 5500MHz bands.
Setup of the device is through a built-in web interface. The MQTT message structure can be configured
to better adapt to different MQTT brokers (e.g., Amazon AWS, IBM Watson IoT, Mosquitto, etc.). It is
possible to remotely update the firmware through the web interface.
The gateway has a low-profile format, suitable for DIN rail mounting inside industrial electrical cabinets. The
full galvanic isolation ensures a good protection against interference present in industrial environments. A
dedicated hardware Watchdog manages the automatic reset of the device. Signaling LEDs allow an immediate
diagnosis of device operation.
SAFETY NOTICE: The Stride MQTT Gateway allows the user to connect to remote industrial controls equipment.
The remote user may operate and monitor the local control system and affect the function and control of the
application just as the local operator controls it. Proper Control, Security and Safety Procedures should be
considered and implemented when writing data to a remote device or system.

Installation
Mounting
The Stride MQTT Gateway may be used indoors only.
It is designed to be mounted in a vertical position on DIN rail and cooled using natural convection. For
proper cooling, you must provide clearance of at least 5mm [0.2 inches] between MQTT Gateway modules
and at least 10mm [0.4 inches] between MQTT Gateway modules and power supplies or other devices.
Make sure that sufficient air flow is provided for the gateway. Avoid placing raceways or other objects where
airflow could be obstructed. Avoid mounting the gateway above equipment that generates heat; ideally locate
the gateway in the lower part of the panel.
Install the gateway in a place without vibrations.
To mount the gateway:
1. Hook the top of the mounting bracket onto the DIN rail.
2. Press the bottom of the gateway inward until it clicks onto the DIN rail.
To remove the gateway:
A. Pull downward on the mounting clip release.
B. Swing the bottom of the gateway outward.
C. Lift the gateway off the DIN rail.

NOTE: Installation of the SGW-MQ1611-WF model in a metal cabinet is not recommended, as the cabinet may
block the Wi-Fi signal.

Wiring Guidelines
WARNING: To minimize the risk of potential safety problems, you should follow all applicable local and national
codes that regulate the installation and operation of your equipment. These codes vary from area to area
and it is your responsibility to determine which codes should be followed, and to verify that the equipment,
installation, and operation are in compliance with the latest revision of these codes.
Equipment damage or serious injury to personnel can result from the failure to follow all applicable codes
and standards. We do not guarantee the products described in this publication are suitable for your particular
application, nor do we assume any responsibility for your product design, installation, or operation.
If you have any questions concerning the installation or operation of this equipment, or if you need additional
information, please call technical support at 1-800-633-0405 or 770-844-4200.
This publication is based on information that was available at the time it was written. At Automationdirect.com®
we constantly strive to improve our products and services, so we reserve the right to make changes to the
products and/or publications at any time without notice and without obligation. This publication may also
discuss features that may not be available in certain revisions of the product.
Proper grounding and wiring of all electrical equipment is important to help ensure the optimum operation
of the Stride MQTT Gateway and to provide additional electrical noise protection for your application.
WARNING: Do not terminate communication leads while the plug-in connector is connected to a powered device.
Wiring Connections
The Stride MQTT Gateway comes with a female 5-pin
plug-in connector for its power and RS-485 connection.
The gateway can be powered from the same 12 to
24 VDC source that is used to power your other
devices. Recommended DC power supplies are
AutomationDirect.com part number PSL-12-010 or
PSL-24-010.
The device uses a 2-wire RS-485 interface. It has an
internal terminating resistor, so this device must be at
the end of the communications daisy-chain.
Avoid routing signal cables near power cables (motors,
induction ovens, inverters, etc.), and use shielded cable
to connect signals. We recommend AutomationDirect
Part #L19954-1 or equivalent data cable to connect
RS-485 serial devices.

Recovery Mode
The device can be booted into a Recovery Mode to reset portions of the configuration to default or to
perform system maintenance and firmware updates.
To enter Recovery Mode, press and hold the recessed reset button on the front of the gateway while applying
power. Continue to hold the reset button until the ERR light stops blinking (about 5 seconds after applying
power). The gateway will start in Recovery Mode, using the default Ethernet configuration:
