#G540 WIRING DIAGRAM PC#

Could this be the reason? I need to shorten the wire or increase the size? I tested voltage to + terminal at the return terminal of the Gecko upon tripping the limit switch and it is 36v (starts at 48) so there is some voltage drop. The cable to kimits I have is 12'- 18 awg. This tells me the limits are not communicating with Mach.

If I un-x the active low Then inspect the diagnostics page I do not see a signal LED light up when I trip the limit switches. Under this wiring configuration when I trip a limit I do not see them blink. If on ports and pins inputs, I x out the active low and x out the emulated button, on the diagnostics screen the LEDS for M1, M2, M3 homing are constantly lit. However in reading the Gecko literature I think I do have each limit switch appropriately set up to the proper ports and pins input within Mach 3.

If that is the case would not terminal #1 be common to all the limit switches with the individual load side of the switches landing in their respective unique terminal so you can show which axis is homed/limited in Mach3? (I am aware that you can place all the homing switches on one input and have mach home them one at a time.)

This wiring schematic does not make sense to me as I read somewhere that the G540 puts out 5v+ to PC on terminal #1. I was wondering if this is correct of if the limits should be 5 volt signal? I am having trouble getting my Homing switches to register within Mach 3.
