    Default thank you so much

    Thank you so much for all your advise. I will try them. Maybe i can use zener diodes to replace LM7805. I appreciate your effort and time.

    Just use a resistor! The input pin is limited to vcc so a resistor works quite well and is very cheap and simple - if the output of your PLC is left floating you may have to tie it down with another resistor. I've used a resistor straight into a PIC from 240Vac for sensing the zero crossing to synchronize firing a TRIAC (I think I used some where in the region of 200k). It seems so wrong I know, but it really works well and is simple.

    Just make sure with yr resistor you don't exceed 20mA - try keep it down to 1-2mA
