Close enough. Brown goes to "positive", either battery voltage or 24 volts, and blue goes to zero. There's not supposed to be any negative voltage in the system.

And we connect them to a 24v solenoid breakout, not a 12v solenoid breakout?
There would be no point to connecting them to a solenoid breakout powered from 12 volts. That would be just like connecting them to the Power Distribution board. The reason to use 24 volts instead would be to avoid having the sensor power drop below 10 volts at any time.

Can the black wire just be cut off and covered with electrical tape?
Yes, taping it to prevent accidental connection to anything else would be best.
