Ok according to the manual
24+ should go to pin 11
24V - should go to pin 28
Now Pin 12 is the enable for the drive, it should really connect via a switch to Pin 28 or an output from Mach. The output from Mach would likely require you to have a relay so we will not go into that at the moment. So you connect pin 12 to pin 28, either via a latching switch or you could just connect direct for the time being.
Pin 9, 29 and 30 are inhibit, Clockwise limit and anticlockwise limits so you need them connected to pin 28 also.
Your step/Dir you need to connect as in the diagram you were given. Ideally the drive is looking for differential signals but your breakout only supplies single ended signals so hopefully it will work as per the diagram.
You will not get mush velocity in Mach from this setup unless you use electronic gearing in the drive, I have not looked how to do that yet so we will cross that bridge later.
Your steps per unit in Mach will depend whether you have gearing between motor and screw and also the pitch of the screw and lastly whether you are using metric or imperial native units.
