Benefits
The Monitouch V808iCD, also referred to as the Hakko V808iCD, is a high-end solution in the human-machine interface (HMI) category. This 8.4" VGA (640 × 480) resolution industrial touchscreen features a 65,536-color display, guaranteeing clear, precise data visualization in production environments.
Designed for connected systems, the V808iCD features a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port as standard, plus two serial interfaces (RS-232C / RS-422/485). It allows up to 8 channels of multi-protocol communication, facilitating integration with a wide variety of equipment. This HMI interface stands out for its network versatility and compatibility with complex industrial environments.
The model features 12.5 MB flash memory, 512 KB SRAM, 2 USB ports (master/slave) for fast data and program transfer, and a CF card reader. Thanks to the V-SFT-5 software, interface creation and conversion are simple and efficient, ensuring rapid configuration of your man-machine interfaces.
The Monitouch V808iCD interface model is no longer sold by Fuji Electric. In its place, the Monitouch 1008 - 8.4-inch HMI offers superior resolution, a 16.7 million-color display, extended memory, and advanced options such as Wi-Fi or a dual LAN port. It represents a modern, reliable and economically attractive solution for industries looking to renew their HMIs with latest-generation industrial touchscreens.

The V808iCD and V808CD models in the Monitouch range are two robust, reliable human-machine interfaces (HMIs) designed for industrial automation. Although they share the same 8.4" industrial touchscreen format with VGA (640 × 480) resolution and 65,536 colors, several key elements differentiate them.
The main difference between the two versions lies in network connectivity. The V808iCD incorporates a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port as standard, making it compatible with MES systems, factory networks and environments requiring remote data synchronization. By contrast, the V808CD has no Ethernet interface, limiting its use to isolated or unconnected applications.
Another advantage of the V808iCD is its expansion port for optional units, allowing modules such as video interfaces, communication extensions or audio outputs to be added. The V808CD doesn't offer this flexibility, which can be a hindrance in upgradable projects.
Finally, the V808iCD is designed to support up to 8 channels of multiprotocol communication, making it a suitable HMI for complex environments with several connected devices (PLCs, drives, sensors). The simpler V808CD is limited to standard serial communication.
In short, the V808iCD is a man-machine interface with a focus on connectivity and scalability, while the V808CD is ideal for simpler applications, with no need for expansion or networking. The choice depends on your system architecture and the future development of your installation.
The V808iCD model, well known for its robustness and connectivity in industrial environments, is no longer on the market. To ensure continuity of your applications while improving performance, Fuji Electric recommends the replacement model: HMI - Monitouch V1008 - 8.4".
Fully compatible with the V808iCD, the Monitouch V1008 retains Fuji Electric's 8.4" screen format and HMI integration philosophy. Migration is made easy thanks to the conversion tool integrated into the V-SFT software, enabling rapid recovery of existing programs.
This new industrial touchscreen offers a number of significant improvements:
- 800 × 600 resolution for a finer, more legible display
- 16.7 million colors compared to 65,536 on the previous model
- Increased memory for complex projects
- Ethernet port, with the option of adding a second Ethernet port or Wi-Fi connection
- Support for SD/SDHC/SDXC cards instead of CF cards
- More compact format with shallow depth for easy cabinet integration
The Monitouch V1008 is a new-generation man-machine interface designed to meet the demands of connected industrial environments. It offers a durable, high-performance and scalable solution, at an attractive price, for companies in all sectors: production, logistics, food processing and pharmaceuticals.
With this replacement, you benefit from a technological upgrade without modifying your existing architecture.
