Hitachi has announced the phase out of [WJ200 series.](https://wolfautomation.com/products/ac-drives/?_bc_fsnf=1&brand=52&Series=WJ200) But don’t worry, they’ve already introduced the WJ-C1 as its replacement. We’ve taken a closer look at the update, and here’s what you need to know. **What’s the same?** We get it: seeing “discontinued” on equipment you rely on can be unsettling and confusing. Deciding on alternatives or replacements is a daunting task, often leaving you with more questions than answers. The good news is, the Hitachi WJ-C1 series is designed for an easy transition! It’s identical mounting footprint to the [WJ200](https://wolfautomation.com/products/ac-drives/?_bc_fsnf=1&brand=52&Series=WJ200) makes it a straightforward replacement. And, by maintaining the same communication protocols, it allows for integration with an existing control system. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/2/d/2de3b1b6fe29b9f05e68825dbad4a1372cad09ad.png) * * * ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/onefinitycnc/original/3X/2/a/2ab504db4285af44d043ea5d443de247ba08378f.png) **New Look** Say goodbye to the up and down arrows! Hitachi developed the new [WJ-C1 Series](https://www.hitachi-iesa.com/sites/default/files/supportingdocs/SM-E274.pdf)with a JOG dial as a replacement for those traditional controls. This innovative dial allows for precise movement in small increments, which is perfect for tasks like calibration and fine-tuning. That’s not all! By running your motor at a low speed, you can use the JOG function to diagnose potential problems before they arise. * * * **Certifications and Functionality** In addition to CE, UL and c-UL certifications, the new WJ-C1 is also EU-RoHS2 compliant. Restricting the use of hazardous materials, Hitachi WJ-C1 aligns with in-demand, eco-friendly products. Now, the question you’ve been waiting for: will it function the same? As mentioned before, the [WJ200](https://www.hitachi-iesa.com/sites/default/files/supportdocs/WJ200%20Manual%20NT325DX.pdf) and [WJ-C1](https://www.hitachi-iesa.com/sites/default/files/supportingdocs/WJ-C1_UsersGuide_NT361X.pdf) share **basic** functionalities.
