How to implement the communication of USB to RS232 in the compactRIO?

Hi,

 

Now I have a compactRIO controller NI-9024, and a RS485 module of NI-9871, however I'd like to connect an instrument, say power meter, with RS-232 communication.

I wondered if I can take advantage of the USB port and Serial port on the controller, but I failed to communicate the instrument by the USB and Serial port.

I also wondered if I can use a RS-485 to RS-232 adapter, and use NI-9871 to communicate with the instrument, but I still cannot make it.

Is there no way to utilize the NI-9024 and NI-9871 to implement RS-232 communication?

Do I still have to get NI-9870 to do my project?

Could anyone give me some suggestion?
