Does your machine have LPT Parallel Port or Ethernet ?

-
This is from computer to control box.
-
And this is back of control box to xyz axis motors. Is this what u needed???
-
try try again

those are the two pics from computer to control box and control box to step motors. I use a usb to printer style connection and then each axis has its own cord goin to motors. I just dont know correct Pins and Ports and Motor values to put in Mach3 to configure this machine correctly so i can start running programs.

From your last picture you have a CNC USB Motion Controller. This operates with the Planet-CNC software and does not require the use of Mach3.
I am currently unable to reach the new Planet CNC website but you should be able to download the necessary software and manuals from their old site here;

Thank u for the suggestion I downloaded it and still cant move machine at all. I already have Mach3 USB style motion controller on my Langmuir Systems CNC plasma cutter and works just fine after I put in correct pins ports and motor values. Please can someone tell me correct Pins Ports and Motor values to plug into Mach3 to make my machine move I can take it from there on tuning just don't know Values and check marks to plug in to get started.

Here is machine.

When I try using the PlanetCNC software it keeps saying no controller found even if I hook up my Langmuir Systems Contoller to it which I know works on Mach3 all day everyday. Someone Please Help??????

You will need a Mach3 plugin for that to be possible and I don't think they do one.
Your other option is a new breakout board or motion controller.

Unfortunately it is not quite as simple as that...
Your CNC-USB motion controller has to interpret the data which is sent in packets via the USB connection and currently it will not recognize Mach3 (irrespective of the Mach3 Ports & Pins settings).
You could try contacting Planet-CNC to ask if they have a suitable plug-in for your particular motion controller.

had a quick look to at the planet-cnc webside. does not look like they Support a Mach3 pluging for the Controller. So only Chance will be to swap the USB Controller.
also this post here: http://forum.planet-cnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2473
says that mach3 is not supported.

Mach3 is not type of controller it is the software I paid $175 for to run my plasma cutter and anything else cnc I wanted to operate so anybody have any suggestions on good cheap motion controller I can buy to run this equipment. Is the box messed up or why can’t Mach3 talk to it???

BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO TALK TO IT.

LOOKS LIKE YOU DO NOT EVEN READ THE ANSWERES, MAY ALSO DEPEND ON MY BAD BAVARIAN ENGLISH.

I’m gonna buy a Mach3 supported motion controller and try that.

Hard, if not impossible, to say which is the best but a motion controller that I use with Mach3 is the Warp9 ESS. https://warp9td.com/
