I assume the TMn.P is the preset value for a timer? Are you saying that when you enter the preset value into the program and and run it, it works. But the preset value is lost after shutting down EMC2 and restarting?
Does this occur even when you are not using an assignment to write to the preset value? 2-90 ms is a fast timer. I wonder if the timer simply cannot run with such a short preset.
