Limit switch current

[muxa]

I'm wondering what current will be going through limit switches, so i can use appropriate diameter wire.

I would not go smaller than 20awg

I believe that the limit switch circuit on the xpro is 5 volts DC but I would need to check it to be sure. I was running into issues with false triggers due to wire size and length of run of the cables so I used solid state relays in my control cabinet. Doing this allowed me to keep the cable distance from the xpro to the relay down-to less than 6 inches. I just drive the solid state relays with my power supply and run the 24 volts DC through the limit switchs.

Thanks @Arctic-Stingray For others in metric system: 20 AWG is 0.81mm diameter

Reopening in case somebody else is interested in this (it's harder to find closed issues)

I'm getting spontaneous hard limit signals while running the machine. I've been advised to use shielded cable.
