Hi there!

I’m trying to set automatic tests for my application using URsim but I am having problems with its initialization. Is there a way to skip the **Confirmation of applied Safety Configuration** (set it by default) and **power on** the robot automatically?

Hi David.

You can avoid the **Confirmation of applied Safety Configuration** by placing a default.installation file in the programs folder.

Regarding the **power on** and **brake release** you can control that via the dashboard server. Take a look here: [Dashboard Server, port 29999 - 15690](https://www.universal-robots.com/how-tos-and-faqs/how-to/ur-how-tos/dashboard-server-cb-series-port-29999-15690/)

using only **brake release** will power on and release the robots brakes in one step 😉
