That is very strange indeed.
Can you please attach the xml as it is now and I will see if I can find the problem.

Well it works fine here when I simulate things so I cant understand what is wrong for you.

Looking at your xml it would seem you have Normally Open switches and they are in parallel, is that correct?

Something strange there then, I would expect them to be active High.
What is your limit switch? NC or NO?

Honestly don't know, I would have to go and check. Too late now as I need to run an extension lead down to the garage for light etc. I will only be able to get back to it on Sunday.

Ok no probs, just you have that active High so I would expect it to be normally closed. However if that is the case then your limits should also be active high unless that BOB does funny things to the signals :D
