What i am doing wrong with mach3?? trying to config machine.

[JAZZCNC]

Has it ever worked recently.? What's happening or not give more details please.

This looks a bit messed up regards wiring and bit of a hack job so will be a bit trial and error unless you know exactly where each pin goes. The sheet you show will help if it's correct.

Try these numbers in motor outputs for starters.
X Axis Step =9
X Axis Dir 12
Y Axis Step 10
Y axis Dir 13
Z axis Step 11
Z axis Dir 14

Also show use whats on the input signals Tab for E-stop.

Edit: The pins could also be this way round depending on the how the Sheet reads.

X Step =2
X dir = 5
Y Step = 3
Y Dir = 6
Z Step 4
Z dir = 7

That looks right.

the drives look like parker sd2/3, and they have 12v logic so you may need a level shifter to drive them.

As Jazz has said we need more info and better photos to see what's there.
The level shifter allows the 5v logic level from the parallel port to activate the 12v logic in the drives.
If the machine has worked before then this is all there and just needs to be checked.

The first thing I notice is that step and direction pins for the motor outputs on X are the same as Y
