I think it turns it off, i.e. I think it's 0v when the machine is not moving, regardless of whether it's enabled or estop is on. it is optional for you to find the wires that brought the analog voltage from the controller to the drivers, so that with some power source..battery or similar 0-10v, you can check whether the motors are started by applying the voltage. the other thing that worries me, and there are people who know, is is that signal the same for the 7i77 sourcing or sinking version of the card? do you have the exact manufacturer ,model number or tag of those drivers, or a more detailed schematic of the driver itself?

4.4.3 SIGNAL INPUT:
The GA370 has two signal input configurations controlled by JP1. Configuration A (JP1 set on A) has two
single-ended inputs SIG. IN. (J1-2) and AUX. IN. (J1-1). Configuration B (JP1 set on B) has one single-ended
input AUX. IN (J1-1) and one differential input DIFF. IN (J2-1), DIFF. RET. (J2-2). (Refer to Appendix B,
drawing 370-3003). Typically when operating in the velocity mode, the input signal range is ±10 VDC. The
input voltage is summed with a precision DC tachometer to provide accurate velocity control at the servo motor
shaft (see fig. 3.1). The Signal Gain potentiometer RV2 (20 K), and Auxiliary Gain potentiometer RV1 (20 K),
adjust the motor velocity desired for a given input voltage velocity command (see 4.2 for recommended wire
type & size).

as I briefly looked at the manual, it seems that SigIN(1-2) or AuxIN(1-1) is an analog input if the factory drivers are set to A configuration..according to that, the power supply should be ..pin 4(GND) pin 2 (analog input voltage) I'm not sure, someone else on the forum if he can look at the instructions.. is your driver assembly all on one board, or are the driver cards separate for each axis? in any case, I would personally check the input with a lower voltage, say a 1.5v battery... if the motors turn, only then I would try via 7i77..

I altered the drawing of one axis to reflect how it is really wired (22 is ground).

pin number 1 seems ok to me and it should be + from the controller and auxIn on the driver.. but according to the driver semi here it says that pin 4 is the common ground for the tacho (otherwise it generates current when the motor turns and gives feedback to the driver on the pin 3), and for the analog input.. if that is the arrangement of the pins in reality, I would try to disconnect that 22 ground and try with the battery,  - on pin 4 and plus on pin 1. with protective gloves, rubber boots and a helmet of course-:)
