The base controller has 2 dimming ports.
You can plug multiple LED drivers to each dimming port.

As Roberto said the basic RA+ has 2 dimming ports.
If you want all 3 channels controlled separately then you will need the dimming module for the extra channel or the Blue and Royal Blue channels can be combined to 1 channel if they will be running the same percentages and everything.

Dimming can also be done thru the 2 ATO ports with the proper coding.

Hello

Thanks for the reply

can i complete my question?

3 led light separates
each one with
- 3 x 12 Cree XML cool white
- 3 x 12 Cree Royal Blue
- 3 x 14 Cree Blue
- 6 Mean Well ELN-60-48P dimmable driver
- 1 Mean Well HLG-185-42B dimmable Driver for the royal blue in parallel

need i an expansion dimming ?
- Sacohen i can run the royal blue and the Blue on one Chanel
so, i don't need a dimming module, exact?
Or, it it's better to buy one?

You can connect them all to the same dimming port.
I would go with the expansion module myself, just to have the ability to split those channels better. You can even think about getting separate dimming in each of your 3 fixtures to create a east to west effect.

Yes. The dimming modules have 6 ports, so you can control 6 lights or DC pumps or moonlights.
