Fadal MP versus 32MP

[HHollow]

I have been looking for a smaller Fadal and have located a candidate a mere 300 miles away. In Montana such a distance is considered a short drive. The thing is a 3016L made in 2001, with "Fadal Multi Processor CNC" on its pendant. So how is MP different from the 32MP control? Older or newer? Is it still internally like the 88HS? FanucLike?

I have absorbed the forum's info on linear versus box ways and I am very happy with buying a lighter and easily maintained linear machine such as the 3016L. I just want to make sure the control system some unique beast produced in minute quantity.

This linked thread stopped short of my answer. Speedie's thread does not address this.

I found a hint at this place. (by David M. de Caussin)

He states suggests the MP controls are just like CNC88, just with an updated pendant. The plate on the 3016L days 2001 so I would expect CNC88HS.

So is this the answer? MP is nothing more than an updated pendant with CNC88 (or 88HS) ?

I think David M. de Caussin is the 'D' in Fadal, I think you likely have found your answer.

Call ITS in Chatsworth, they would know as I believe they made the boards for Fadal

I have one of each of these controls. The 32 MP is the exact same thing as the 88HS, from an operator’s standpoint.
