I am making a new track with around 60 switches and will use for this viessmann 5211 and marklin K83.

how can I make it work when using a intellibox and 2 boosters and 4 marklin 32VA power supplies. Can I find anywhere some drawings how to connect properly all the 5211 and how to diverse the power to the different 5211 and K83's.

I hope I am clear enough?

Thanks in advance

Each K83 has red and brown sockets (Pair on each side). Connect these to track power. They do not draw much power unless you are throwing a switch, and then only one is active at a time.

5211 has the same (4) Red and brown sockets, connect these the same as k83. 5211 also has extra Red socket (with red dot *). You can connect this to seperate red (or yellow) wire if you wish. I just jumper this to other Red sockets.

5211 and k83 use so little power that it may not be worth the bother to assign each k83/5211 to specific booster/traffo.

Hope this helps.

True,
unless you connect turnouts which have lamps connected to yellow cable (M-track) or signals with the same (70xx and 7188). These items could be changed internally with a new cable for the lamp.

Or, connect such items to 5211 and use the extra socket.

There is no need to connect k83 and 5211 to different trafos. However, it could make some sense not to drive trains on this circuit; it makes throwing safer.

Like Lars above, I also recommend to separate the accessory decoders from track power. When a solenoid throws, it can draw as much as 700mA. If you have several trains running at the same time, and they are in the same circuit, behind one 32VA trafo, the switching may become unreliable. A simplified wiring diagram for separate track and accessory circuits can be found from my web-site:
