Hello Nader;
I have worked for many years in this business, and i have never heard of a serial standard named RS285.
There is such a thing as RS-485, a differential, 2 wire multidrop physical layer standard. Look it up, Wickipedia is a good place to start, B&B Electronics have excellent whitepapers discussing serial links.
Google "USB to RS-485" and you will find many manufacturers of such devices.
Hope this helps,
Daniel Chartier

Check spelling,
may be you are looking for RS485 or RS422.

Thanks a lot for your replies. I searched for it before and I found a converter that "Allows communication between devices having RS232 and RS285 interfaces" but it has RS232, RS485 input and output interfaces. Could RS285 be another name for RS485?

I also found it mentioned on the following sites:

It's a typo on the "Notes" line. Look above it to see the I/O properties.

Hello Nader;
I am sorry, I still cannot find any valid information on RS-285 on any of the liks you provided. The first one gives a generic error, the second does mention RS-285 but the site it is linked to shows nothing on the subject, the last mentions a part number for a fingerprint reader but no RS-285.
Here is a link to a very good information site on serail communication protocols. It doen't mention RS-285; no other communication site I have access to does, either.

This is definitely a typo. In my 40 years in the communication business I have never heard of RS285. It is RS485 and there are many good references available on the net.

I believe the references to RS285 are typographical errors.
Give us the make & model of the device you are trying to communicate with, then we can help.
