OK found the DPLL problem:
The DPLL timer value 2 is not updated until you write timer value 1
(and timer value 4 is not updated until you write timer value 3)

As a workaround, just use timer 1
or setp all the timers in order at the start

( I could not duplicate the error because I used timer 1 )

It will get fixed,

I never noticed because all of our test files either just used timer 1
or if multiple timers were used, all 4 timers were initialized, order is not even important
its just that if you never setp timer1 to some value initially you can never change timer 2
the same goes for timer 3 and 4, very weird bug

Would you mind sharing config files, as it would save me a lot of time, and i am badly pressed for time ( it is 3:01AM here). I already have the hal and ini you shared here, but that uses simulated stuff, i just need the SSI part for reading and feedback. Never used them, but i learned a lot from this thread and other resources, so thank you very much for sharing.
Tomorrow (well today already ) i am connecting one encoder and see what happens.
I have a similar setup to yours, namely 6i25/7i77/7i74/7i70/7i71 and a revolving tool changer, and two X axis, one 6450mm long and one 400mm.
Plenty of fun!
Regards,
Tom
