Given the growing prevalence of the Siemens Robicon Perfect Harmony in
critical applications, it was only a matter of time before it reached
10,000 drives sold globally and an installed base of 2.2 million KW. It
hit the milestone last week, just shy of 20 years since its launch in
1994. Over the past couple of decades, the Siemens Robicon Perfect
Harmony medium voltage variable frequency drive has helped manufacturers
in a wide range of industries — from oil and gas to power generation —
achieve the reliability their critical processes require. Today it is
the world’s No. 1 selling drive.
The Siemens Robicon Perfect Harmony drive draws on extensive experience
with a wide range of industry applications — including more than 80
types of pumps, 34 types of fans, and a dozen different compressors — to
deliver the greatest reliability possible. Virtually any motor can be
paired or retrofit with a Siemens Robicon Perfect Harmony drive to
provide optimal versatility, efficiency and process availability for
critical applications.
Its modularity and 50+ patented technologies allow for a scalable
solution that achieves 99.99% availability, which means greater
productivity and a significantly reduced total cost of ownership over
the drive’s lifecycle. And only Siemens Robicon Perfect Harmony drives
feature Advanced Cell Bypass, a reliability failsafe that allows the
drive to bypass faulted cells while maintaining a balanced output
voltage at all times. These features contribute to the impressive
200,000-hour MTBF that drives Siemens Robicon Perfect Harmony global
sales.
Siemens is announcing the landmark achievement in advance of the drive’s
upcoming name change. Effective Jan. 1, 2014, the Siemens Robicon
Perfect Harmony drive joined the Siemens Sinamics family of drives and
was renamed the Sinamics Perfect Harmony drive. Sinamics is the
industry’s most comprehensive drive family, and the addition of Siemens
Robicon Perfect Harmony will only serve to further broaden its offering
of high-performance integrated drive solutions.
