# Position Sensor Simulation FS

URL: https://irs.systems/en/docs/position-sensor-simulation-fs

PosSim FS can be used to generate synchronous SINE and COSINE signals as they are provided by position sensors applied in electrical motors. There are several expansion stages of the simulation. One group provides 5 analog outputs. Different numbers of outputs can be realized by combining several groups. The PosSim FS system can be controlled via Ethernet or CAN-FD.

The hardware platform is based on National Instruments sbRIO-9608.
