<Description>
<DescriptionText><text>
Initiate the movement of the DC motor.  The DC motor will run in the configured
direction at the configured torque for either the configured duration or until
the limit stop is reached.
</text></DescriptionText>
<DescriptionText><text>
The movement of the DC motor is only initiated; the movement of
the DC motor is configured using the monitor commands
dmc move config &lt;motor name&gt; &lt;motor direction&gt; &lt;motor duration&gt; &lt;motor torque&gt;
or dmc run config &lt;motor name&gt; &lt;motor direction&gt; &lt;motor torque&gt;.
The movement of the DC motor is terminated using the monitor command
dmc motor stop &lt;motor name&gt;.

<DescriptionText><text>
If the motor timeout is non-zero, a timeout error will be generated if the
movement of the DC motor is not complete within the specified motor timeout.
If the motor timeout is zero, it is possible, however unlikely, that the
monitor command may never be completed.
