General Mach Discussion / Question before my next Mach3 question.

Hi all, The background about my question is, around 5 years back I was gifted a cnc in kit form. It's been in the loft 4.9 years of that time!
The spindle and inverter were bought as a fleeyby set, but have no markings. serial numbers or anything that might help. The spindle I have no clue who made it? but pretty sure from looking around it's 2.2kw 220v and I think 24k rpm. The inverter is deffo Huanyang with standard markings for power supply and output to spindle. which wired in all works as meant to. spindle start/stop works fine. I'll later need to do the parameter settings, which seem pretty clear.
The next thing was the cnc driver card and nemas, the driver card is a TB6560 (I think) 3 axis, reading the intronet forums it's 'The Blue Board'. X and Y axis were complete sub assemblies, the board functions just fine, it drives X Y axis in a Mach3 test program, Z axis is not put together but the stepper runs as it should, for the first time in my life I bothered to wire in and test both limit and E stop switches, and they function correctly in Mach3.
My Question is about the 3 spindle outputs from the Blue Card, the inverter and Mach3. In short I don't want to try to wire something that cant be done lol
The inverter has a tonn of input/outputs. the driver card only has min/gnd/mout.....I only need spindle start in forwards direction and hopefully S in program. and marry that up to Mach3 spindle settings?
Or will I need a dedicated card for the spindle?
Many thanks G92.1
