You can make the scale of the stepgen negative, or invert the direction pin. (or swap the wires on one of the stepper motor phases)

Now I have other question, anybody knows the best way to implement a stop on crash system for the plasma
I already have the hardware and sensors ready, but I don't know the correct signals to use.

So I'm assuming you want to force an estop if the torch crashes and the breakaway sensor is activated.
Start by rephrasing that:
If the external estop button is pressed OR the torch breakaway is active then (e)stop the machine.
Here is how I did it by adding an extra or.2 component.
So now activating the breakway or the external estop button raise an e-stop.

do you know why the slave (second y-axis) have a different control mode one have velocity and the other position
I'm experiencing some vibration on the slave side of gantry and no sure why any clue?
thanks

That sounds like a bad idea.

That still doesn't explain why one stepgen would be velocity mode and the other position mode. They should both be the same.
