Abstract
A sensor system for determining at least one rotation characteristic of an element rotating around at least one rotation axis. The sensor system includes at least one sensor wheel, which is connectable to the rotating element, the sensor wheel having a sensor wheel profile. The sensor system also includes at least one position sensor and at least one phase sensor. The sensor system further includes at least one digital interface and at least one incremental interface, the sensor system being configured to output at least one absolute position signal generated with the aid of the position sensor via the digital interface and to output at least one incremental signal generated with the aid of the phase sensor via the incremental interface.
