    The VFD connects directly to the spindle for AC power. The DB25 connector is the standard Mach3/4 interface to the parallel port in a computer running the CNBC software. There is a software plugin to control the VFD over a modbus interface. This is a rs485 interface with two wires and requires you to use a USB to rs485 converter which is about $15 usd
