Digital Inputs and the Digital Side Car

For the past few days our team has been working on trying to get a simple limit switch to work to no avail. We have tried completing the circuit with two wires, but that did not give us any input back either.

We are programming in labview and we have a very simple code set-up, so we do not believe that it is the problem there, but we are not sure at all. We have tried with PWM and relays on the sidecar and these outputs all work fine.

Our indicator on labview continuously displays an output of 0, both when the limit switch is pressed and when it is not pressed.

Does anybody have any idea as to why nothing is happening?

Thank You,
