Struggling to connect Fusion 360 to my Roland Model A Pro 2 MDX-540 CNC machine

I was wondering if you had someway of connecting Fusion 360 to a Roland Model A Pro 2 MDX-540 CNC machine. From what I can tell on their end, they have no plug-in to allow Fusion 360 to run its files off directly to it. Do you possibly have a 3rd party plug-in or a way to help connect Fusion 360 for that model of CNC directly allowing me to use it. Id appreciate even the smallest bit of help from you as I have not gotten really any other information elsewhere. Again, I am looking to connect Fusion 360 directly to this model of CNC using a plug-in or something similar without having to use an in-between program.

Fusion will generate a Gcode file. You would then get it to your machine via a usb drive or RS232 or some other means. You do no directly connect fusion to your machine or DNC (direct numeric control). From what I see you you would copy via a usb drive.
