to make it simple, i would use an opto-isolator. connect the Collector to the 24 vDC> the emitter to the input of the PLC. on the other size, just apply a little current through the diode via a resistor (aprox 470 Ohms)in series from the HallEffect , i am sure the Hall can drive the LED inside enough..

look there for that Opto and the PDF file.
