When using Dynamic Positioning is it possible to read the number of pulses on an HMI from the HO-CTRIO as they are being output? I want to set up some logical scaling based on the number of pulses.

Dynamic Positioning - read output pulses
It is possible to read from the CTRIO the number of pulses that have been output by using a System Function (see CTRIO manual). But this will by no means give you a dynamically changing value at any fast rate. Instead you would do something like set a bit with the HMI in the PLC, and that bit triggers a System Function sequence to the CTRIO, which then processes the request and returns the registers of Ch1/Fn1, Ch1/Fn2, Ch2/Fn1, Ch2/Fn2, Output 0, Output 1, Output 2 and Output 3 to V-memory. Then the HMI would be able to read the PLC's V-memory.
