10 length train start from depot left and come in the right site from the depot but there are a limitation for only trains with length 4 - So why this happen?

Min/Max length and train number signals only work for requesters and providers.
Depots ignore them.
Trains return to the depot with the same name the started in.
So name your depot after what train the serve.
Different train type -- different name.

For limiting trains you can use the vanilla train station limit.

Ok thank you. People say always names with ltn are not from interrest - so they are wrong. Was verry helpfull Nosferatu. So Depot10, depot5, Depot4F. should be stop the problem.

Is there a technical reson or why ltn dont respect that or why depots ignore the signals?

I don't think it's technical. But I don't know why ;)

Depots work better by pathing to nearest name rather than using temp stops.
Doing so makes it far too easy to end up with same depot names with different train length limitations.
