What is the best way to verify the ground? Measure the resistance from the machine frame to the drive frame and mesa boards frame?

The machine was originally setup with a virtual tach using a f/v converter inside the Fanuc controller. Here is a diagram of the original setup. 


Thank you again for the help!

Do you have a document for the actual driver pinout?
