1. A shift-by-wire system comprising:
a body configured to have a sensor provided therein;
a knob configured to be rotatable around an axis of the body;
a button assembly configured to move in an axial direction of the body, wherein the button assembly comprises a button provided at one end of the knob so as to be pressed and a shaft provided in the body in the axial direction and including one end connected to the button; and
a concurrent operation limiting unit configured to:
limit movement of the button assembly in a state in which the knob is manipulated so as to be rotated, and
