This paper proposes a synchronization algorithm for hybrid control networks in industrial environments. The proposed algorithm minimizes synchronization error, which is caused from channel, propagation, and frequency delay. The modified RBS and the offset synchronization methods can be updated by adjustment parameters of proposed algorithm. For the performance analysis, throughput and data transmission time between CAN and wireless devices are investigated. The simula tion results show the performance in terms of the availability of the proposed algorithm.
