A Motion object manages a single axis or group of axes.
Its primary function is to provide an interface to command movement
on a coordinate system. It also provides status information about
all the axes under its control, so motion can be either stopped
or resumed in a controlled manner, especially in the event of error
recovery. The Motion object is really a host-based object, with
a corresponding Motion Supervisor object in the controller. The
Motion Supervisor handles the real-time issues associated with axis
data and status synchronization.
Some careful consideration should be given to Motion object (Motion
Supervisor) to axis mapping. While it's possible to have multiple
Motion objects share the same axes, only one Motion Supervisor can
command motion to an axis at a time. Motion object to axis maps
can be changed dynamically at any time, but Motion Supervisor to
axis maps should NOT be changed when the axes are moving.
