Thomas,
I like to use one limit sensor on each end of travel for my X and Y axis.
This is mostly for safety reasons.
On my Y axis, I ended up placing two targets and one sensor. Mach2 knows
the direction of travel so you can get buy with one sensor and a second
target for the inductive proximity sensor.

Subject: [mach1mach2cnc] one limit switch or two??
Using Campbell's breakout board what are the advantages and disadvantages
to
using one or two limit switches per axis?
I will be using the Automation Direct proximity switches.
Thanks,
Thomas Powell
