Did you follow this guide? https://kb.logicmachine.net/integration/dmx-lighting/
Try swapping A/B. GND should be connected between LM and DMX ballasts.

Most DMX lights have a simple DIP switch to configure the address. But some might require additional software/hardware for configuration.

the address of the dmx is already given by the customer but  when i integrate with lm nothings shows up i also tried swapping a and b channel in RS485

Have you tried using port 1 or 2? RS485-3 uses a different chip, maybe there's some incompatibility on the physical level.
If this does not help you could try an external DMX-to-Ethernet controller. There's a script/library for ArtNet protocol: https://forum.logicmachine.net/showthread.php?tid=1391
