How would go about saying okay once the DIO input is true it prevents the motor from going backwards?

If by "prevent the motor from moving backwards" you mean "stop powering the motor in the backward direction", then the best way is to connect the limit switch directly to the Jaguar (if you are using Jaguar). The Jaguar senses the limit switch and shuts off power. No code required.
