9-5-1 Positions
The actual position or distance for a positioning motion is specified with the Position (Target Position)
and Distance (Travel Distance) input variables to the motion control instruction.
You can read Axis Variables in the user program to monitor positions.
In the descriptions, a variable name _MC_AX[*] is used as an example, but the same information
applies to _MC1_AX[*] and _MC2_AX[*].
