Explain Limit Switches and Homing To Me

If a limit switch is hit during program execution, the program will stop, RESET(EmergencyStop) will be activated in Mach, and you will be able to jog off of the limit switch by Resetting Mach(take it out of E-Stop mode), "Limit Override" button(if Auto Limits Override is not selected), and using keyboard jog keys.

To resume the program, you will first need to make a note of where it was when it hit the E-Stop, edit the program so that it won;t hit the E-stop again, and then use "Run from Here".
 
Glad you found the notes useful. Andy Wander has given the exact answer to your question!

O.K. got it. It's still a, manual operation then, after it hits the limit. I will try to avoid hitting the "limits" when operating my machine as a safety practice. Thanks to all for the valuable information.
