Hi,

The easiest and cheapest way is to use a transistor to convert the voltage.

For example, use power transistors - MOSFET

In which the shutter control is 5 volts.

IRL2703PBF is one such option.

The control signal to the base is your 5 volts.

And on the collector is 24 volts.

When there is a signal at the base, 24 volts will appear on the emitter.

That's all.

And yes, Siemens doesn’t have PLCs in the S7 line that could handle discrete 5 volts - only with a signal converter ...

 Seems a better solution. Thank you

Hi,

If I answered your questions, and you have no more questions, please - close the topic and put a rating.

This will help the rest of the forum participants.

this wonder, gets TTL-levels (what you need) and outputs 24VDC.

as concerned MOSFETs, the transistor itself isn't sole element on PCB.

You will have to make PCB, envisage safety circuit, connectors, indication, housing, soldering, etc. Keep in mind.

It's lucrative business  when you need at least hundreds and more. If you need a few dozen. Forget. Better buy it, the link above.
