I might as well post his here too. The docs and examples never show how you can create an estop chain that included multiple switches chained together in software. Its not always convenient to wire all functions that should trigger an estop to a single input. This example has a hardwired estop, an estop button on a pendant. Additionally, if the plasma torch breaks away, this triggers an estop too.
On estop, we turn on a red warning light and disable the stepper drives. (All stepper controller (dis)enable lines are tied to the one output.)

Software E-stop is always good but as it is realy a need shout down the motor power by press not in Software
you can Home against the switches and restart at the nearest Clearenc hight at all time
