EPSON RC+ 5.0 (Ver.5.4) User's Guide Rev.4 29
Change the EPSON RC+ 5.0 startup mode
You can select the startup mode and override the startup dialog using command line
options.
To start in Program mode (no password required)
ERC50.EXE /PROG
To start in Auto mode
ERC50.EXE /AUTO
Use these command line options to override and hide the startup dialog and open the
Operator Window directly.
If only the AUTO flag is supplied and the control device is PC, EPSON RC+ 5.0 will open
the project from the last session and display the operator window. EPSON RC+ 5.0 will
only be visible in the Windows Task Manager. When the operator window is closed,
EPSON RC+ 5.0 will be terminated.
When the control device is PC, you cannot close the operator window while tasks are
running.
Example
Open project myapp on drive C and display the operator window:
ERC50.EXE c:myapp /AUTO
The Controller should be ON before starting EPSON RC+ 5.0 with the /AUTO command
line option. If EPSON RC+ 5.0 cannot communicate with the controller, then an error
message will be displayed with a retry button.
For more details, see the Operator Window section in the chapter Building Applications in
