    Yes, but it may depend on the control software that you're using.

    I never got around to hooking up my limit switches, but my plan is to have one home switch for each axis and gang all the limit switches together.

    The limit switches are further back from the home switch and indicate an "out of range" condition. It really doesn't matter if the error is in the X, Y, or Z axis. It indicates that something has gone wrong, such as missing steps and you want to halt the program.
