The status of the coupling for the synchronous operation can be read with the following system
variables:
System variable
$AA_SYNC [FAx]
Signal reaction
Synchronous operation signals themselves do not stop the involved axes, but can release
them via synchronized action or NC/PLC interface signals (see Section "R3: Extended stop
and retract (Page 457)").

Description
Provided the synchronous operation difference is greater than the
threshold value for position "coarse" synchronous operation or
"coarse" speed synchronous operation, the coupled group is des‐
ignated as non-synchronous.
The synchronous operation difference has reached the threshold
value for "coarse" position synchronous operation or "coarse"
speed synchronous operation.
In case the actual value-based synchronous operation difference,
the following NC/PLC-interface signal is set:
DB31, ... DBX98.1 (coarse synchronous operation)
The synchronous operation difference has reached the threshold
value for "fine" position synchronous operation or "fine" speed syn‐
chronous operation.
In case the actual value-based synchronous operation difference,
the following NC/PLC-interface signal is set:
DB31, ... DBX98.0 (fine synchronous operation)
