Please, I´d like to know if I can connect a inductive proximity (PNP output) sensor in 2 PLCs inputs like the example in the image attached?

Yes if both use the same logic levels and shared gnd.. Only 1 Pull-up to Vcc required. This assumes the input impedance of both is >10 greater than the R pullup.

Alternatively, use the sensor to activate a relay and wire the PLC inputs through 2 NO contacts.
