This paper focues on development of a timer selection algorithm for IEEE802.4 token bus networks to serve large-scale integrated manufacturing systems. Such factory automation networks have to satisfy delay constraints imposed on time-critical messages while maintaining as much network capacity as possible for non-time-critical messages. Therefore, the object of this paper is to develop timer selection algorithm to minimize a certain penalty function. This paper presents an algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm. The efficacy of the algorithm has been demonstrated by a series of simulation experiments.
