@Neil,
The limit switches are only used for homing, but after that the soft limits should prevent the axes crashing, or ever even reaching the end stops.

I imagine you can always crash the axes if you move them before homing. One homed it knows where they are and the soft limits stop it from crashing provided the motors don't skip steps.

Should you actually be able to perform moves without a Home operation being performed first? I does not seem sensible to permit moves in any direction until the firmware has established a known reference position for each axis.

You wouldn't be able to commission a machine if you could not move until homing because you want to be able to test it moves in the right direction before trying to home.
