Inductive Limit Switch problem

[dazp1976]

When I come to do mine in the future I'll wire them in series for each axis and use solid core CAT7 cable.
Where I have to split it down from 8 wires into pairs as I get closer to the machine I'll heatshrink them.
CAT7 has each pair shielded already. It's just a case of carefully getting the outer sheath off without damaging the foil on each pair.

Atm I'm just using the soft limits.

Nice idea for fixed sensors but I don't think solid core cable will last long in a moving drag chain.

I won't be going through the drag chain. The switches will be fixed to the machine casting so they won't be moving. The little angle plates they will read off will be axis attached. This way the cable won't need to be that flexible.
