Slave device, master device and stacked device

摘要

A stacked device is disclosed which is easily manufactured while identifying a plurality of devices that are stacked in the stacked device. The stacked device includes a stack of a plurality of slave devices and a master device having identical terminal arrangements. Here, the master device includes command transmission unit configured to input an identification command to a terminal of an adjacent slave device. Furthermore, the slave device includes a through-wire for interconnecting at least one terminal of that same device and an adjacent slave device; command reception unit configured to receive the identification command; and ID (identifier) setting unit configured to set the ID of that same device based on the identification command; the positions of the terminals that are interconnected with the adjacent slave devices differing in each slave device, so that, in each slave device, the slave device command reception unit receive an identification command having a modified value as a result of transiting through-wires that are connected at differing positions in each slave device.
