After yesterday and today, I now have
1) ESTOP buttons working 2) Overheat thermal switches controlling E-Stop as well. 3) Limit switch on the Y axis fully functional 4) PPMC controller box switches motion circuit on and off.My next goal is to set up everything so that servo drives are in inhibit, unless machine is on and is able to control positions.
Your next goal should be to get some sleep!
Keep going. What are you planning to make first?

Go Iggy Go!
In case you haven't done it, I would recommend labeling the e-stops maybe at the terminal blocks, that way when there is a problem it is a simple mater to find what is e-stopping the machine. That's helpful after you've forgot the details, don't have a print handy (do you have electrical prints?) and need to find out why it won't power ON.

Yes,I did label it.

Maybe milling a circle.

Exactly.

The wiring diagrams, configuration files, etc. should be printed out and placed in one of those stick-on document pouches inside the control cabinet. The electronic versions along with all required software should be on a cheap thumb drive in that pouch as well.
I am doing wiring notes in a Google Docs spreadsheet. So far it details every connection that I made. It is published here:

Iggy, can you eventually compact that all into a .pdf?
(when you're at the point of actually milling?)
It's good stuff!

I will try.
