    My problem is I have JP-3163B ver 3.9 motion controller board,On one side it has these connections--> VCC/XXW/XYW/ZXW and on the other C/NO/0-10V/ GND now please tell me do i need to place the 2 wires per limit switch for eg.for the X axis -->Com and NC wires in the XXW slot and Y axis Com and NC in the XYW and same for the Z axis in the ZXW or only NC wire in each of them and all the COM wires in the VCC slot?
    Im so confused ???? plus do I need resisters or is it fine without???? :

    Hi
    do you have a link to the manual you can post ?
    of better still -
    take a photo of your board

    as the google link goes to several pictures

    I think you should find the limit switch connections should go to
    a small 5 pin header on the board and not to any large screw terminals like the connections for the power and stepper motors

    with only the link to select either the internal +5v or an external positive suppy for the input opto isolators
    but no link to break the ground connection

    it looks like you can not take full advantage of the input
    opto-isolators

    as soon as I can I will down load mach3 to see what the XML file setting are

    You have the user name "Schematicsman", you are going to mill a pcb, and yet you can't wire two switches in series ? plus you can't read the previous two posts ! having a laugh ?
