1. A paper-sheet handling device comprising:
a control unit that controls a plurality of paper-sheet handling units including other paper-sheet handling units, paper sheet handling processes of which are different; and
a plurality of first connection control units that control respective paper-sheet handling units of the paper-sheet handling units based on an instruction of the control unit, wherein
respective control units connected to the control unit by a first daisy chain,
a first connection control unit of the plurality of first connection control units positioned at a top in the first daisy chain receives a first numeral from the control unit, to recognize the first numeral as an identifier to identify a paper-sheet handling unit of the paper-sheet handling units controlled by itself, and adds a second numeral to the first numeral to transmit to a following first connection control unit,
the plurality of first connection control units except the first connection control unit positioned at the top in the first daisy chain, receive the first numeral from the following first connection control unit of a previous stage, and recognize the first numeral as an identifier to identify a respective paper-sheet handling unit of the paper-sheet handling units controlled by themselves, and add the second numeral to the first numeral, to transmit when the first connection control unit that follows is present, to the following first connection control unit,
the plurality of first connection control units are respectively connected to a plurality of second connection control units that respectively control the other paper-sheet handling units based on an instruction of the control unit by a second daisy chain which extends in a second direction different from a first direction in which the first daisy chain extends, and add a third numeral to an identifier to identify the paper-sheet handling unit controlled by themselves, to transmit to a second connection control unit of the plurality of second connection control units positioned at a top in the second daisy chain, and
the plurality of second connection control units recognize the third numeral to identify a paper-sheet handling unit of the paper-sheet handling units controlled by themselves, and add the third numeral to the first numeral, to transmit, when the second connection control unit that follows is present in the second daisy chain, to a following second connection control unit.
