If it's just a plain mechanical switch you only need two connections.

The documentation has examples in it in section 4.6 and appendix 2

http://www.artsoftcontrols.com/documentation/M3M1_84-A2.pdf

If it's a three wire sensor try toggling active low/high in ports and
pins/inputs. You should see the respective led on the Mach diags page
toggle as you activate it.
