Position Sensor Simulation FS (RPS)

Position Sensor Simulation FS (RPS)

Analog Output Module for Rotor Position Sensor Simulation and Electrical Fault Simulation 

The Position Sensor Simulation FS (RPS) enables the realistic generation of synchronous sine and cosine signals (GMR/AMR angle sensors), as used by position sensors in electrical machines. Additionally, the system allows for targeted simulation of electrical fault conditions. The RPS platform is based on the NI sbRIO-9608 and offers a highly integrable solution for complex test environments due to its modular structure and various communication interfaces (Ethernet & CAN-FD). 


Technical Description 

The RPS simulation unit is modular and allows for a scalable number of channels by combining multiple groups. The position sensor simulation FS can be used to generate synchronous sine and cosine signals, as provided by position sensors in electric motors.  
There are several levels of the simulation available. One module offers up to 30 analog outputs. This enables the configuration of multiple output combinations. Another notable feature is the simulation of various fault conditions, such as phase shift, amplitude, and offset errors. Additionally, electrical faults such as short circuits and broken wires can be simulated. By calibrating in the delivery state and ensuring high reliability, the modules provide very precise long-term measurement results. A recalibration process in the IRS calibration laboratory can be carried out easily and maintenance-friendly.  


  • Modular Channel Groups: Each group offers 5 analog outputs. The system is available in versions with 10, 20, or 30 channels

  • Dual Mode: Synchronization of 2 channel groups each is possible 

  • Communication & Control

    • Ethernet: Full configuration and control 

    • CAN-FD: Complete control, configuration via Ethernet required

  • Isolation: Each channel group is electrically isolated from other groups, the system power supply, and the housing. 

Mechanics & Housing Options 

The Position Sensor Simulation FS (RPS) is flexible in use – suitable for both laboratory and series testing environments.  

19" Integration: 
The modular hardware is prepared for integration into 6HE - 19" racks and can thus be seamlessly incorporated into existing test benches.  

Table Housing: 
For development environments, manual test benches, or research facilities, the RPS is also available in a robust table housing. This variant can optionally be operated with 230VAC.
