Proximity limit switch problems

[EddyCurrent]

Time to clarify, there are limits and there are home switches.
As Jazz says it looks like your original wiring was in series with the E/stop and so are limits.
The ones I was talking about were the home switches.
Both can be wired in series but home switches sometimes have their own inputs. With this in mind it can be seen that using mechanical lever switches for limits makes life easy and for home switches that have their own inputs then proximity switches are okay too.
If proximity switches are required for limits they can be wired in parallel but only if they are the Normally Open type.

See if this thread sheds any light on it first.

Also see this, there are tabs across the top of the page that include series connected sensors too.
