Claim 11:
12. A motor control apparatus configured to control one of a plurality of motors based on a control command output from host control circuitry, comprising:
information sharing circuitry configured to share position information with another motor control apparatus via data communication, the position information being detected by a sensor which is configured to detect the position information of a movable part of another motor among the plurality of motors and to output the position information to the another motor control apparatus;
reaching determination circuitry configured to determine whether a reference point of a drive machine driven by the plurality of motors reaches a predetermined position based on the position information; and
trigger output circuitry configured to output a trigger signal when it is determined that the reference point has reached the predetermined position.
