MTH AIU DZ2500 Wiring

Does anyone have a basic wiring diagram for wiring a DZ-2500 switch machine to an MTH AIU (not setting it up for non-derailing)?  I have used the search feature and google and have found nothing.  The AIU instruction guide is poor only shows wiring to Realtrax?  I find it hard to believe I am the first person having this issue.  Is the diagram above from B. Broskowitz correct for the DZ-2500?

From the diagram above,  I am assuming one of the green lines coming from the Switch Motor is the common/black wire?  I am totally confused looking at this diagram and the one provided by MTH/AIU.   I just want to know where the black, red, and white wires coming from the DZ-2500 switch motor go to.    Thank-you.

To help anyone in the future who is having trouble wiring a Ross switch with a DZ2500 using an MTH AIU, this is what I found.  When I follow the wiring diagram from Z-stuff for the DZ2500 (Figure 5) with the blue wire going to AIU 1 and the white wire going to AIU 2, only the turnout button on the MTH controller (app) will move the switch from straight to turnout and also turnout to straight.  The straight button does not work when wired this way.

After researching other people's troubles, I found that if you wire the DZ2500's yellow wire to the AIU 1 and the green wire to AIU 2, everything works as it should.  If anyone has other suggestions or comments, please leave them.  I do not claim to be an expert, I am just trying to get everything to work properly.

The black or common goes to the common on the power supply and to the AIU "In".  The red wire simply goes to the red of the power supply.
