The RS-485 standard specifies differential signaling on two lines rather than single-ended with a voltage referenced to ground as you would have with Serial. The right pins need to get into your connector on the arduino side.
Your sensor has a special connector that you need to properly connect to an RS485 interface
The Controllino Maxi has its RS485 interface already wired (with no termination inside) and the driver is connected to the UART3 (TxD3 / RxD3) of the ATmega2560.
so if you have the right cable then you need wires coming into the Controllino Maxi form your sub DB9 pins 2,3 and 5. Connect pin 5 to GND of the Controllino Maxi RS485, pin 2 probably to - and pin 3 to +
(verify polarity). I assume they come from the remote connector pin 5/6/7.
then try writing a piece of code listening to what's coming into Serial3
