# Position Sensing System with Multiple Resolving Nodes

## Abstract

An example position sensing system includes: a cylinder actuator having a cylinder and a piston that is movable within the cylinder, wherein a range of movement of the piston is divided into a set of ranges; a magnet that is coupled to the piston; and a plurality of sensor nodes mounted external to the cylinder, wherein each sensor node of the plurality of sensor nodes is assigned a respective range of the set of ranges, and wherein each sensor node provides position information indicating a position of the magnet when the magnet is in the respective range assigned to the sensor node.
