Morphology
The noun phrase combines 'motor' (a device producing mechanical motion) and 'control' (the act of regulating), so its meaning—the regulation or control system for motors—is directly and compositionally derivable from the parts. This is a common cross-linguistic technical compound, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to understand it.
Etymology
Motor control for machines gives the same image but with parts: a computer or circuit is the control and the electric motor is the part that turns and moves things. So, it means 'the parts and programs that make motors start, stop, and move accurately'.
