Try
    ModbusClient.Connect()

    TextBox3.Text = ComError
    TextBox3.ForeColor = Color.Green
    Label4.Text = "Connected to Slave"
    Label4.ForeColor = Color.Green
    If TextBox3.Text = 0 Then
        Label4.Text = "logging......"
        Dim Regs As Integer()
        Regs = ModbusClient.ReadHoldingRegisters(4, 5)

        Me.TextBox4.Text = Regs(0)
        Me.TextBox5.Text = Regs(1)
        Me.TextBox6.Text = Regs(2)

are you sure ? I thought holding registers were in the range(s)

30001-31000 Channel Variables 1-1000
34001-34053 System Variables 1-52
38000-38009 Digitals 1-8 & Relay

i have tried with the below, unable to get data

Regs = ModbusClient.ReadHoldingRegisters(30001, 5)
or
Regs = ModbusClient.ReadHoldingRegisters(3, 5)

one thing that we found using MODBUS, was the register numbers needed to be offset by 1 'one' - can you please try Regs = ModbusClient.ReadHoldingRegisters(30000, 5)
