    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for clock synchronization of an industrial internet field broadband bus, wherein the method is applicable to an industrial internet field broadband bus architecture system including a bus controller and at least one bus terminal, the bus controller is connected with the bus terminal over a two-wire data transfer network, and the method includes steps of: electing one of the bus controller and the bus terminal as a best master clock; determining whether an IP address of the device of the best master clock is the same as an IP address of the bus controller; if so, then determining the bus controller as a master device of clock synchronization, and transmitting by the bus controller a synchronization message to the bus terminal for clock synchronization; and otherwise, returning to the step of electing one of the bus controller and the bus terminal as the best master clock.
