You need to map the To design the system, prepare a schematic diagram of connecting the Vertex with lighting luminaires and other DALI devices (luminaires, sensors and panels). First, map the devices to the individual Vertex buses (ports). The order in which devices are connected on the bus does not matter.
...
Vertex has 3 DALI ports and each port has 2 inputs. So if you put Vertex in the middle of the devices line you can to double the distance between them to 600 m.

Maximum current limit
On each port, you can connect up Up to 64 DALI devices (we recommend 55) but you must not exceed the allowed currentcan be connected to each port (55 per port is recommend). The allowed current must be not exceeded.
For example, we have the project includes 32 luminaires and 6 sensors and we use Vertex 2.0 which has allowed current 180 . The allowed current for the Vertex 3.0 is 230 mA per one port. The current consumption for the luminaires is 2 mA and we have sensors which the maximum current consumption for the selected sensors is 8 mA. The total power consumption of these devices is 112 mA. This It is less than the permissible limit on the bus, so it’s ok.

Each DALI port has 64 DALI adresses. Usually one DALI device takes up 1 DALI address so we could connect up . Up to 64 (we recomend 55 per port is recommend) devices can be connected to one port. But there are some luminaires that take up more than one DALI address and relay units that can take up 4 or even 8 addresses. Information about the total number of DALI drivers is in the luminaire datasheet.
...
Sensors and panels have another limit. We should connect up Up to 8 those devices per one DALI bus can be connected. This restriction does not apply to luminares. There can be both sensors and panels on one bus, and of course luminaires. Remember that Vertex has 3 DALI ports, so we can connect a a total of 24 sensors and panels per one Vertex can be connected.
