Which sync read do you refer to?
There's no sync read in the Dynamixel 1.0 protocol, but Xevel's USB2AX, for example, implements one.
There is a sync read in the Dynamixel 2.0.
Basically you should send the proper hex sequence for the Dynamixel command and read the answers from the Dynamixel devices. At softwaresouls.com you can find simple examples about using Dynamixel commands, like this. Reading asynchronously the answers from the serial port is somewhat tricky if you have not do it before, do you use Windows or Linux?
