I seem to have gotten the following error to not kick in, I turned the velocity and acceleration to 1 and that seems to let the axis move more than about .25" at a time. Still looking into the index not kicking in.

Waiting on another power supply for 12v as one of my cards needs that rather than 24v the machine provides.

You can probably use a small buck-converter to source 12V from the 24V line, rather than use a whole PSU. 
 

I already wired in another small 12v PSU, it powers something on the heidenhain impulseformer so I'm not sure if that would introduce noise into the encoder input but I do have buck converters as well now that you mention it.

Another note on this, I don't have home limits, just the index it looks for. This could be the stem of my issue but the reference machine I am "copying" is the same setup with no limits just search for the index

I would verify that the index works by manually setting the index enable signal
for the tested joint (via the halcmd sets command) and then manually moving
the axis past the index mark to see if the index enable signal gets cleared
at the index mark.

that seems like an easy enough check. Ill do that after I get home from work!
