Siemens 840D 16774 - Channel Synchronization aborted for slave axis/spindle
Alarm 16774 indicates that the synchronization procedure (EGONSYN/EGONSYNE) for a slave axis or spindle was interrupted before completion. This occurs when external events such as RESET commands, program termination, follow-up mode activation, or rapid stop alarms forcibly terminate the active synchronization cycle in the NCK.

Channel Synchronization aborted for slave axis/spindle
Siemens SINUMERIK 840D alarm 16774: Channel Synchronization aborted for slave axis/spindle. This alarm indicates a program or channel-level error on the SINUMERIK control. The part program or machine function cannot be executed as commanded.
Root Cause Summary
Alarm 16774 indicates that the synchronization procedure (EGONSYN/EGONSYNE) for a slave axis or spindle was interrupted before completion. This occurs when external events such as RESET commands, program termination, follow-up mode activation, or rapid stop alarms forcibly terminate the active synchronization cycle in the NCK.
Safety
Causes and Fixes
Check machine control panel and HMI logs for RESET button activation or emergency stop (E-STOP) events during the timestamp when alarm 16774 occurred.
Verify NC program logic around EGONSYN/EGONSYNE blocks; confirm intentional RESET is not called within the synchronization G-code sequence via M0/M1 or explicit RESET macro calls.
Review PLC safety logic and interlock conditions (check OB1/OB10 and relevant safety FB blocks) to ensure no unintended RESET is being triggered by fault conditions or sensor logic during synchronization.
Repeated RESET during sync indicates potential upstream fault masking the root cause.
If RESET is intentional, restructure NC program to complete synchronization before RESET, or use conditional EGONSYN logic with error handling (ONERROR blocks) to gracefully exit sync mode.
