blinkId

Global Command
This command displays the current setting, starts, or stops the module's LED Identification
pattern. This command is useful for identifying a specific Controller in a system with multiple
Controllers.
After receiving the blinkId begin command, the module will continue to blink its Identification
LED pattern until one of the following occurs:
 The module receives the blinkId end command
 the operation is commanded to stop via DCP (from Proficy Machine Edition or a third-party
controller),
 the module is restarted or encounters a fatal error and is configured to present a fatal error
blink code.
If the Identification LED pattern has been started via DCP, the blinkId end command stops the
Identification LED pattern.
