I would be very happy if someone could point me to a list of standard net to build stuff from ...
like : net x-home or net x-limit or net torch-on .... stuff like this 
OR I don't have to care and i can just create whatever i want?
I want to use most of the IO on my card that has 16 inputs and 16 outputs ... 
before i had a usb-bob for mach3 and had 4 inputs and 4 outputs

I would suggest starting from basics like homing/limit switches. Maybe try some E-stop for safety. And as you will use the machine, you will find out what do you need. You can also get some inspiration from control panels on industrial machines

did read almost half of the linuxcnc documentation and i didn't see anything that would answer my question ... are there basic rules / commands to start from in linuxcnc-ethercat....
I have been tru all this shite 20+years ago when i tried to get a twincat controlled plc to work... doesn't look like the information base to get stuff working has improved... digging thru the twincat2 information was a pain in the ass... trying to find answers in this forum ... vage information

"did read almost half of the linuxcnc documentation"

That's the issue.

It's there you just need to look.

I think that is the biggest difference between Linuxcnc and Mach3,  Here, you start with a blank canvas, Mach has some structure about its setup.
Linuxcnc does not care and you can use whatever you want.
Over time you will build your own style that works for you. 
With ethercat, I like to put the drives at the top of the list so they get numbered the same as th ejoints but you can set a name j0.j1 etc.

not finished, but basics work.
