You might try hanging a current probe on the output of the Gecko to see if
it is switching between run current mode and standby current mode when the
direction line is being toggled.
It shouldn't cause any harm, just more power used.

for sinking inputs (like 7I70,7I76,7i77,7I84 field inputs) The best is NC
PNP
type. These will fail open (= limit) with short to ground or open wire
faults

Dammit, I've already ordered NPN NC,

As far as i know i have Standby Disabled on the gecko,but i will check

So I think I have the hardware setup - but now I'm confused on how to actually
setup PWM to control an axis. I noticed that the .hal file has some PWM
instances at the bottom, but they seem to be set for heaters. Should repurpose
one of these or create a new one? How do I create a new one,

You can use NPN Proximity switches with the 7I77 but it requires external
pullup resistors (say 2K 1W)
I know, but the sensors are too cheap to make a special design for the
cards that are fine with PNP's. I rather take the cost
