Scope
GB/T 32197-2025 is the English-translated version of 工业机器人控制器开放式通信接口规范.
GB/T 32197-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering the TCP/IP interface through which a client drives a stationary industrial robot controller — the controller state machine and the protocol structure, the connection management and the control privilege that decides which client may actually move the arm, the parameter, file, I/O, program and device messages, the motion control messages and their JSON format, and the tests that show a controller answers them. It replaces GB/T 32197-2015, under the China Machinery Industry Federation. In force from 1 November 2025. Issued on 25 April 2025, it has been in force since 1 November 2025, replacing GB/T 32197-2015.
