Greeting ,can we write on controller non volatile memory ? to save the data incase of power down
Yes of course. all variables are stored every few minutes and will resume from where they left off once power resumes.

Gents ,
Kindly advise , this is generally or for some variables, as scenario I have after power is down , program is reset . And variables are forced to intial values , we may store them in permanent memory , after power is back we can restore them , is that possible
This very good, but the issue i faced related to Interval command , that after power restored , the interval start from beginning and program overwrite old variables, is there possible solution .
Perhaps I can help out if we see your program. The time-on and off statements store their data in non volatile memory which is indeed lost during a power cycle. How about storing the time-on and off in a variable, explicitly.
10 VAR1 = TIME-ON( OUT1 )
Var1 will hold the time-on of the output on power up, it will quickly get overwritten though depending on your startup conditions. With some creative use of the power-on statement you might be able to get around that. It could get messy though.
Another option would be to just get a low cost backup power supply, they are not expensive.
Great Idea , i would try , suppose i am using interval command , is there a way to assign regular interval time to a variable ?
Interval is useful for the timing applications as you’re working on. Here’s one which increments a variable every one second.
IF INTERVAL( 0:0:01 ) THEN VAR1 = VAR1 + 1
The IF+ statement is also useful, this statement will trigger once when the timer hits a certain value, 10 minutes in this case.
IF+ VAR1 = 00:10:00 THEN VAR2 = NOT VAR2
