The charging station of the SIMATIC MV325 can communicate with the host computer by means of USB. No special software is required for this purpose. The SIMATIC MV325 is configured by reading supplied data matrix codes.

The SIMATIC MV325 handheld reader itself communicates via Bluetooth with the base station. No special software is required for connecting a handheld reader with a specific charging station since the SIMATIC MV325 is connected with the charging station by reading a unique identifier on the charging station.

The code contents read are automatically transferred to the charging station as soon as a wireless connection is established. If the connection to the charging station is not established, the read results are buffered in the mobile section (if this function is activated). This operating mode is referred to as batch mode. As soon as the connection to the charging station is restored, the read results are automatically transferred.
