Which should have come with a manual that you need to read. Surely you know the make and model. You haven't provided that so how can anyone answer your questions?

And how do you think you can communicate to an RS485 device if you have an RS232 converter? They are different!

the device is The LUCM or LUCMT multifunction control units perform the following protection functions:
 Protection against over-currents (protection not provided by LUCMT)
 Protection against thermal overloads, with choice of trip class from 5 to 30
 Protection against ground faults
 Protection against phase imbalances
 Protection against mechanical jams during or after the start-up phase.
 Protection against idling
 Tripping of the starter via an external signal (as an option)

 

The protection,functions may be configured and monitored:
Locally, using the built-in display and keyboard
Remotely, using:
 An RJ-45 communication port, Modbus RS 485

 

the relai has a registers, and each register contains the  parameter that we will controlled it 

 

in the company they use rs485/rs232 converter to connect it to the pc , but in my own pc I don't have rs232 port so I use an adapter rs232/USB

Well, you bought the wrong adapter if the device is RS485.

It's RS232 and you just said the device requires RS485. Don't you understand the differences? Please do some basic research.

yes I understand the difference very well , there is a converter rs232/rs485 to connect it to the pc , in the company they has used this device with the logiciel modscan and it works  very well ( they can read the data using the converter),now the company need to provide this issue using labVIEW so my project is to create a labview interface for reading the data contained in the relai but I do not have the port rs232 so I use rs232-USB converter

So you have a separate RS232 to RS485 converter as well? That was not clear from your posts. I don't understand where you are stuck now. The modbus spi for LabVIEW contains all of the functions for setting address to read and returning the register content.
