This paper describes a controller for organization of intercrate communications in multicrate multiprocessor systems by means of an intercrate dataway that follows the structure of a COMEX dataway. The intercrate controller makes it possible to create multicrate multiprocessor systems with ordinary CAMAC slave modules. The crate-communications controller is implemented as an auxiliary crate controller and requires at the 25th station an EUR6500e-compatible device for communications between the main and auxiliary dataways. Two light-emitting diodes on the front panel indicate which of the dataways has been captured by the controller. The controller is designed for operation with intercrate dataway lines that are matched by means of one or two terminators. The matching network must have the equivalent circuit of a resistor of 110-130 ohm connected to a source of 3.5-4.5 V.
