Abstract

A method for the automatic adjustment of a maximum token holding time of a first bus participant in a BACnet MS/TP bus system. The method includes analyzing the data traffic in the bus system during a first time interval and adjusting a maximum token holding time of the first bus participant based on the analysis of the data traffic during the first time interval, whereby the analysis of the data traffic during the first time interval includes determining a data transmission pattern of a second bus participant, whereby the data transmission pattern of the second bus participant is defined by a measured data volume of the second bus participant and its distribution over time.
