Yes it does. The motors connect to the DB9 connectors.
Details here.

Its a bloody fantastic little controller worth its weight in gold.

Setup was dead easy it has fail safes in it so you don't get the special smoke if you have a wiring problem the special smoke cost losts off $$$.
The only thing to be aware of is that when you power it you down (turn it off ) you turn off your power supply off that feeds the G540 otherwise you will be sending it back for repair.

Hi Ben,

Yes, it is pretty much a complete 4 axis CNC controller. If you are using size 23 motors it is by far the best solution around IMHO

If you are looking to put a controller together, have a look at the schematic at the bottom of this page.
