    Is there a way I can make a variable persistent in a PAC module?

    The only way I can think of at the moment is to read/write to a file with a colour touch.
    Which means that a B/W touch also couldn't do persistent.

    I'm trying to capture schedule on/off times in a PAC but if for some reason there is a power fail then the times will revert back to the times I have hard coded into the source file.

    System IO

    Hi,

    Yes! Use System IO!

    SysIO is stored in Non Volatile Memory, so you can store the time into a User SysIO variable and it'll be there again when you power up.

    Cheers,
    Mark.

    This should be fixed in the next release.
