POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY FOR DETECTING ROTARY MOVEMENT AND METHOD FOR DETECTING ERRORS IN A POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM

The invention refers to a Position sensor system (1), particularly for detecting rotary movement, comprising:a position sensor (2), particularly for detecting rotary movement, with a first sensor output (3) and a second sensor output (4),a first signal processing unit (5) for processing, particularly amplifying and filtering, the signal of the first sensor output (3) or the second sensor output (4),a second signal processing unit (6) for processing, particularly amplifying and filtering, the signal of the second sensor output (4) or the first sensor output (3),a first system output (7) providing the output of the first signal processing unit (5) or of the second signal processing unit (6), anda second system output (8) providing the output of the second signal processing (6) unit or of the first signal processing unit (5),which is characterized in thatthe position sensor system (1) further comprises a swapping unit (9) for swapping the first signal processing unit (5) from the first sensor output (3) and first system output (7) to the second sensor output (4) and second system output (8) and for simultaneously swapping the second signal processing unit (6) from the second sensor output (4) and second system output (8) to the first sensor output (3) and first system output (7) and vice versa.The invention further relates to a method for detecting errors in a position sensor system (1), particularly for detecting rotary movement.
