Ok, I will change them over and let you know what happens. Thanks again.

Actally I have the 2 switches in parallel.

I am pretty sure they are normally closed, and I have 2 per axis.

Thanks, Hood, I will have to get that all together for you tonight.

That's what I thought. What I find confusing is that on the all in one board the output signal pins for enable 1 to 4 are all different, but for this breakout board they are all set to pin 1.
Where exactly are the settings for the limit switches?

Ok, so I finally got a breakout board with individual drivers to replace my all in one 4 axis board. It all works well, the motors run a lot smoother, but for some reason my limit switches have no effect on the motors.
In the diagnostics page the input led's from 1 to 4 are lit, and when any of the limit switches are manually operated the led's go out.
Any ideas??

Perhaps these are the reasons why these systems are not common?

I thought the same thing and wondered if anyone had produced such a configuration, because that would be good, don't you think? It would have to work in a similar way to the wire EDM when it retracts for any reason.
