Reading and utilizing output value of a PID Loop

Kind of fresh to opto so please excuse if this is a simple thing i’m missing.

I was wondering if there is a way to read the PID Loop output and put it into a variable i can use for a calculation. I’m trying to mimic a TPO output in creating a timed output sequence using to output of the PID to derive the percentage of time to run.

Hi JollyGrn,
Welcome to the forums! How did you solve it?
FYI - There are also ways to connect a PID directly to a TPO point (for the output), would that info be helpful to you?
Thanks,
