Good day, I have a sensor which supports serial data output using RS422 which has 4 wires (RX+, RX-, TX+, TX-) my question is how can I connect this sensor to the Arduino. I read that i can use 2 max485 chips to do this but uncertain of the exact procedure. Thanks in advance.

This is not really an arduino question, for of an Electrical Engineering question, this should help electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/280073/…– Chad GCommented Mar 12, 2018 at 16:19

There are pre-made and very inexpensive Arduino RS-485 modules available on Ebay or Amazon. Much simpler than building your own circuit.
They look like this:
The MAX490 chip consists of DI (pin 3) and RO (pin 2) pins that connect to the Arduino TX and RX respectively. the rs-422 side of the chip consists of pin 5 (Y / T+), Pin 6 (Z / T-), pin 7 (B / R-) and pin 8 (A / R+)
