RS485 with compactDAQ 9178

[jinjin]

I use a compact DAQ 9178 with DI, DO, AI(NI-9205) and AO(NI-9264) modules..

I need to use RS485 communication, but I'm not sure if it will be possible exactly..

Is RS485 possible? What do I need?

This list lets you see the compatibility of C series modules with various NI chassis solution.

As you can see, the 9870 and 9871 are not supported in CompactDAQ chassis. The only work in CompactRIO chassis in FPGA and Scan mode.
