<R54> is pretty clear--if you're going to cut the power, you have to do it via a PWM or relay. Also see <R67> and <R44>. You can't use that limit switch for that purpose. You can program it to do that, but you can't do it without the programming.

<R26> is also pretty clear. I quote the last paragraph:

Can't develop and complete software if you can't program, can you?
