G540
 
Thank you for your reply. I do have the manual. It shows limit switches each
with it's own Pin. Can they be wired in series to one pin leaving more in put free?

The diagram I was wondering about, for the BOB in side.


Thanks

Mac,
The G540 inputs are not form c (dry contacts) thus, I would suggest you need to add a simple relay to the prox sensor and wire those in series.

I have a detailed explanation of this in the following threads:

Certain Proximity sensors will allow you to wire in series, but I found that a certain small level of BAD EMF is picked up by the proximity sensor and the addition of relay's on all my machines elimitated/isolated that.

The relays I used are the DIN mounted and located in this thread

Proximity sensors Relay
 
I feel this is the best way also, question was over an early post.

I think I m on the right track using relay in series
