Clive is correct that you want toroidal transformer around 70Vdc but don't go buying one as they are expensive and often don't have the required current so need two.
We or I can talk you thru specing and building one easy enough. They are simple things to build and don't require degree in electronics.
Re: HOMES/LIMITS. The IP-M will happily work with either NPN or PNP. However if sharing Home and Limit each axis must be on it's own INPUT. This doesn't matter if one SW Traveling or one fixed at each end.
Whether to use traveling SW or FIxed is matter or preference. My preference is traveling because it's simpler requires less SW Less Wires with Less chance of interference from noise etc.
To add to your list is 24Vdc Contactor. This is for switching the Toroidal transformer on. Contactors handle the Inrush current much better than Relay.
You will however still need relay for Reset/E-stop Latching safety system. This relay will do several things one of which is turning on the 24Vdc Contactor.
You will also require Momentery Push button for the latching Reset system. Also suggest Green LED to show Control is Reset and drives ON.
Also 240V Mains ON/OFF Switch and again RED Led. Optional is EMI filter but for sake of £8-10 worth fitting one. Also put separate one on the VFD if using Spindle with VFD.
