Reply To: Optocoupler plus high-side MOSFET into a 24 V PLC input only gives me 9 V

An N-channel on the high side needs its gate several volts above its source to turn on fully. From the same 24 V rail you can’t get the gate above 24 V, so the source can only rise to whatever the gate gets minus the threshold.
