    If the motor hits the limit switch and then reverses direction while moving slowly but never stops, Mach is not seeing the switch open again. The machine slowly backs off the switch until it returns, but if the return is not seen then it will keep moving indefinitely. I had this same problem once and I believe the cause was noise due to not using shielded cables for my limit switches. My switches are normally closed and then open up when triggered. In the closed state they were not effected by noise, but once open it became a problem.

    hi, Pyronaught thanks for reply, sorry for my english i'm from portugal.
    I had a plate leafboy 4 axes usb and home switches worked well, and moved to a plate DDUM 5 axes bought both on ebay, but this board with the switches do not work as they should, this afternoon I noticed changing, was provisionally running but is not the solution, this is the next card must detect oN / OFF / ON to stop eg the Z axis and the other does, but he should come back and bring a few spaces and put the Zero axis and does not, which causes me trouble double clicking in ref all home because it exceeds the limits of the machine. And sometimes so let me work on that button once ref all home, if you have to twice restarting the program does not even being to touch the switches! that will be the problem?
