If your using Warp9 ESS there are complete instructions for it all online.

Hi,
you need to post this question to Andy on the Warp9 forum.

It sounds like Mach is not interpreting the switches as homes when you are in homing mode.
During the vast majority of time Mach should interpret any signal event on that input as a limit event and should Estop.
When homing however it should interpret that input as a home event. In your Machh/ESS setup the logical axis Home AND
Limits must both be assigned to that onr input.

The joy of trying to combing Homes and Limits!!.

The ESS has three ports so you could in fact have all six limit switches each with their own input pin and still another three inputs
for three independent home switches. A $23 C10 bi-directional breakout board configured for Inputs woul give you another 13 inputs
over and above those availabe through the G540, enough for separate inputs for homes and limits.

Thank you for that reply, and I will do just that! I completely realize there are plenty of pins on the ESS but I've always set my wiring this way and never thought it would be an issue. That is why I (stupidly) made separate control enclosures for the G540 and the ESS, so rewiring would be quite the pain at this point.

Thank you again for your help-

Ok, so just for anyone in the future looking for this same issue, turns out, I was supposed to be using the G540 XML file from the Warp 9 website. I already had that G540 XML and just never loaded it! Worked like a charm. Thanks to Andy over at Warp 9 and joeavaerage for getting me to ask over there!
