Brief description Definition of synchronized actions Motion-synchronous actions (or "synchronized actions" for short) are instructions programmed by the user, which are evaluated in the interpolation cycle of the NCK in synchronization with the execution of the part program. If the condition programmed in the synchronized action is fulfilled or if none is specified, then actions assigned to the instruction are activated in synchronism with the remainder of the part program run.
