~WARNING ~
Thank you for purchasing automation equipment from Automationdirect.com®, doing business as
AutomationDirect. We want your new automation equipment to operate safely. Anyone who installs
or uses this equipment should read this publication (and any other relevant publications) before

followed, and to verify that the equipment, installation, and operation is in compliance with the latest
revision of these codes.
At a minimum, you should follow all applicable sections of the National Fire Code, National Electrical
Code, and the codes of the National Electrical Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA). There may be
local regulatory or government offices that can also help determine which codes and standards are

Page 1–3Stride®MB Gateway User Manual – 1st Edition Rev. F – April 2021
Introduction
Modbus is one of the most popular communication protocols in the automation industry because
it supports both traditional RS-232/422/485 devices and industrial Ethernet devices. Many
industrial devices, such as PLCs, HMIs, instruments and meters use Modbus as their standard
communication protocol. However, the Modbus protocols running over serial and Ethernet are so
different that a communication gateway is needed as a bridge for integrating devices from these
two networks. The STRIDE® Modbus Gateway provides that bridge between Modbus RTU (Serial)
products and Modbus TCP (Ethernet) products.
The gateway converts bidirectionally between Modbus RTU or Modbus ASCII protocols and
Modbus TCP. In addition to its compact size, the gateway features up to two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
ports and up to four RS232/422/485 serial ports.
SECURITY NOTE: When implementing any method of remote access to your equipment, you
need to consider the security exposure in order to minimize the risks to your processes and
your equipment. Security should always be carefully evaluated for each installation. Refer to
“Appendix D: Security Considerations for Control Systems Networks” for more information. .

Hardware Reset Button
The Hardware Reset Button is a small
recessed button located on the top of the
device. Pressing the button will reset all
settings to their default values.
DIP Switches
A 120Ω termination resistor for each serial
port configured for RS485 2-wire is enabled
(ON) or disabled (OFF) by the corresponding
DIP switch.
LEDs
The front panel provides status via the
following LEDs:
PWR1 (Green)
LED ON indicates voltage is applied to
Power1terminals.
PWR2 (Green)
LED ON indicates voltage is applied to
Power2terminals.
RUN (Green)
Blinking Indicates the device is functioning
normally. Steady on indicates power is on
and device is booting up.
SPEED (RJ45 Yellow)
There is one yellow SPEED LED for each
Ethernet port. LED ON indicates Ethernet
speed is 100Mbps. LED OFF indicates
Ethernet speed is 10Mbps.
Link/Activity (RJ45 Green)
There is one green Link/Activity LED for each
Ethernet port. The Link/Activity LED is ON
when a valid link is established, and flashes to indicate that the gateway sees data traveling on
the Ethernet network. If any network device is sending or receiving data, the Link/Activity LED will
be flashing. During heavy communication loads, this indicator will be steady ON. If the LED is OFF,
then a problem with the Ethernet connection has been detected.
T (Serial port Transmit, Green)
The T or trAnsmit DAtA LED flashes to indicate that the gateway is sending data through the serial port.
R (Serial port Receive, Green)
The R or receive DAtA LED flashes to indicate that the gateway is receiving data through the serial port.

Installation, DIN Rail Mounting
NOTE: The gateway can also be panel mounted with purchase of accessory mounting bracket
(part #SE2-PM1 for SGW-MB1511-T and SGW-MB1512-T, part #SE2-PM3 for SGW-MB1524-T).
These devices are open-type and are meant to be installed in an enclosure which is only accessible
with the use of a tool and suitable for the environment when installed in Class 1, Division 2
Hazardous Locations. The gateway can be snapped onto a standard 35mm x 7.5 mm height DIN
rail (Standard: CENELEC EN50022) and can be mounted either vertically or horizontally. Allow
20mm [0.79”] of clearance between the gateway and other equipment on the DIN rail, side-to-side
and top-to-bottom.
DIN rail mounting steps:
1) Hook top back of unit over the DIN rail.
2) Push bottom back onto the DIN rail until it snaps into place.
DIN rail removal steps:
1) Push the unit down to free the bottom of the DIN rail.
2) Rotate the bottom of the unit away from the DIN rail.
3) Unhook top of unit from DIN rail.

Wiring
Power
The switch can be powered from the same DC source that is used to power your other devices. To
maintain the UL listing, this must be an SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) power supply. A DC voltage
in the range of 12 to 48VDC needs to be applied between the P1+ terminal and the P1- terminal
as shown below. The chassis screw terminal should be tied to panel or chassis ground. To reduce
down time resulting from power loss, the switch can be powered redundantly with a second
power supply as shown below. A recommended DC power supply is AutomationDirect.com part
number PSL-24-010.
Terminal block connector is Degson 2EDGK-5.08-04P-14-1000AH or equivalent.
Ferrule required for stranded wire.
Wire Size Range: 24 – 12 AWG
Wire Strip Length: 7mm
Maximum terminal screw torque is
4.43 lb-in (0.5 N·m).

Ethernet Wiring
Use data-quality (not voice-quality) twisted pair cable rated category 5e (or better) with standard
RJ45 connectors. Straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable can be used for all devices the
switch is connected to because all the ports are capable of auto-MDI/MDIX-crossover detection.
The RJ45 Ethernet port connector bodies on these products are metallic and connected to the
Chassis GND terminal. Therefore, shielded cables may be used to provide further protection. To
prevent ground loops, the cable shield should be tied to the metal connector body at one end of
the cable only. Electrical isolation is also provided on the Ethernet ports for increased reliability.
