You probably need to invert the sense of the limit switches, or even remove the HAL code that passes these bits in to EMC in the case that you never intend to have such switches.
Since you haven't told us what configuration you are using, I have to take some wild guesses. the stepper config files don't have limit switches in them, so you must not be using them. In the hal file(s) that is used for your configuration, there must be some input pin that is being connected to emc's inputs such as "axis.0.neg-lim-sw-in", which is what emc sees as the limit switch condition. With my controllers, for instance, there are 3-line stanzas for each limit switch, such as : newsig Xminlim bit linksp Xminlim <= ppmc.0.din.01.in linksp Xminlim => axis.0.neg-lim-sw-in If the switch was getting the wrong on/off sense, you would change the middle line to : linksp Xminlim <= ppmc.0.din.01.in-not The driver for this device produces two complementary outputs, and you can choose which polarity you need in each case. You should have a similar mechanism in your system. You can use the halshow program, usually available from the "machine" menu in the GUI you are using, to show all available HAL signals and pins.
