As long as you are within 24V and sourcing all voltage downstream from the Power Distribution Board (PDB), your circuit is legal. You can source 12V from the PDB for your sensor and use 5V logic for whatever you need.
Hope that helps.

Thanks man, we want to built a regulator that take the 12 VDC signal from the sensor and regulate it to 5 so the roboRIO could use it
