The IEEE 802.4 token bus has been widely accepted as the standard for factory local area networks. The priority option of the 802.4 standard supports multiple classes of traffic by using a set of timers to control information exchange. The performance of the 802.4 priority mechanism in industrial real time control is examined. A timer assignment technique is presented for such applications. The timers are set to satisfy the worst case access delay requirements of real time control applications. Other applications that are not time constrainted can be supported simultaneously. In fact under certain conditions, such applications can also be guaranteed a minimum bandwidth allocation. Simulation results are used to evaluate the timer assignment and utililization.
