1394-DIM Configurations
The identity and number of the axes you can connect to a 1394-DIM
depends upon the number of 1394 axis modules connected to your
1394 system in addition to the 1394-DIM.
The figure below shows the input connections located on the bottom
of a typical 1394 system and a 1394-DIM.

A 1394x-SJTxx-C, -C-RL, -T, and -T-RL system module can control a
maximum of four physical axes. The 1394C-SJTxx-L and -L-RL can
control only one axis. Each 1394 axis module added to the 1394
system reduces the number of external drives and axes the 1394-DIM
can control by one.
