According to LED light on my
842D DeviceNet Absolute Multi‐Turn Magnetic Encoder, the encoder is"Active but not allocated by master devicenet". Can someone explain what this means and how to fix it? Thanks.

Hi

Only a guess but have you assigned it in your scan list?

Is this a new encoder or a existing one.

The encoder must be a slave of a master scanner. In other words encoder must be inside scanner scan list.
