Modules Capacity
There are different models of SOLSTYCE modules with different capacity. The table below shows the capacity for the SCY-2DALI models.

We recommend limiting this number to 16 when integrating push buttons. Realize that push buttons with several instances consume several signals.
The maximum number of DALI devices (ECGs and/or input devices) depends on the sum of the specific devices' current consumption. The gateway sup-
plies 230 mA to the bus to power the DALI devices, so if each input device (sensor) in the bus consumes 5 mA, then we can connect 63 ECGs (the stan-
dard defines the maximum consumption allowed for these devices is 2 mA) and 16 sensors.
63 ECGs * 2 mA + 16 sensors * 5 mA = 206 mA < 230 mA * 90%
As the standard recommends, don't use the guaranteed current to calculate the maximum number of DALI devices, but leave 10% of the current for fu-
ture expansion or tolerances.

This is the gateway's total number of signals regardless of whether they are ECGs, sensors, groups, etc.

The maximum number of devices is limited by the guaranteed power supply of the DALI network and max signals.
Keep in mind when dimensioning each DALI channel. See Device Limits section for more details.
