Check out the family of serial monitor software available from HHD software at

"You can log and analyze serial connection by establishing a virtual link (Serial Bridge) between two distinct serial devices and monitor this virtual connection starting from Serial Monitor Standard Edition."

A PC's COM port is RS-232. You mention your physical link is RSW-485, so at some point you'll have to either put a card in the PC that is native RS-485 or go through a 232/485 converter.
