Andy it still won't work using one input when wired in parallel. You can't share home and limits with IP-M in the same way you could with PP using just one input.!
The reason being IP-M for safety reasons keeps the limits ON of the Axis not homing(even with "home with safety" turned off) so you can't share the same Input number in Mach for all axis.
You need to use at least 2 inputs wired in parallel. One for Limits and one for homes. My prefered way is to have 3 inputs with each axis sharing homing and limits. This way the Axis being homed doesn't trip the Limits of the other axis.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 22-03-2016 at 05:13 PM.

Yes that's how I am setting it up, an input for each axis with home and limits shared.
I have it bench testing now and it functions well with that set up.
