zenon 7.11 - Help ???

Start Runtime as a service
Manual -> Runtime -> Start Runtime as a service

Read carefully and follow the steps...
Working for me, tricky if you are using more then 50 drivers in your project...

One additional note regarding starting zenon runtime as service (information will be available in the help documentation from zenon 7.20 on):

INTERACTIVE ACCESS

Note: This type of access is not suitable for use for the actual operation of Runtime. Services are
intended as program instances that run in the background that are not operated by means of a user
interface. If operations on the Runtime Server are to be carried out, Runtime must be started as an
application. If Runtime is to run on the Server as a service, operation of Runtime can be carried out from
a zenon Client.


LIMITATIONS TO INTERACTIVE ACCESS
If zenon Runtime is started as a service and this is nevertheless to have a graphic user interface (GUI),
this is implemented by the operating system by means of the Secure Desktop (detection of interactive
services) system service.
Access to the Runtime user interface via the Windows system service has been subject to several
restrictions since the Vista/Server 2008 version for security reasons. Above all:
 The interactive desktop is automatically ended after one minute of inactivity and the windows
login screen is displayed.
 Display of DirectX effects, such as glow or shadowing for elements is not possible.
 Multi-monitor operation is not possible.

Ok, i started Zenon Runtime as service (win server 2008)
But i cant start Zenon Process Gateway as service. I add zenProcGateway.exe to Startup tool and nothing....

zenPG application together with RT as service should work. They must be started in the same context.

Maybe try to start zenPG from zenon project - using zenon function 'start program' linked in AUTOSTART script.
