The only error I found was under Config check
Output signal check
Pin for output found as not pins 1-9, 14, 16 or 17 unless using "modbus"?????
This is wrong.

Please comment.

Your xml runs it fine here, noticed you have a couple of pins set wrong. The DIR for Z and A are the same, ie pin 8, also you have OutPut 1 set to pin 0.
Neither of these would cause a problem with simulation however.
You have a non standard screen loaded, I am not sure where you got that from but that could well be the problem as the Start button may not be asigned properly, try going to the View menu and loading the standard 1024.set screen and see if that reslolves your problem.

 Oh also not sure if its the Demo you are running, if it is you will only get 500 lines of the roadrunner showing but it will still run up to that 500 lines.
