So let's get it to mimic exactly what your Mobus scanner is sending:

- Add a BasicLabel and set PLCAddressValue tp 40001
- Add a 2nd BasicLabel and set PLCAddressValue to 40010
- On MosBusRTU1, use these settings :
PortName : COM3
BaudRate : 9600
DataBits : 8
Parity : None
StopBits  :One
StationAddress : 2
EnableLogging : True

Delete the existing driver log file, the run that and post what you get in the new driver log file

OK done that and here is the new Log file for it-

09:38:39.817 Opening Port COM3 with 9600,8,0

Yes, definitely 2 for slave id, and this is confirmed as set in the PLC and also works for CASmodbus scanner software.

What gets me is that I had this running fine after a few minutes setup on a windows 7 PC about 18months ago it was with an older version of Visual studio and obviously back then an older version of ADVHMI . I cant remember the versions though and no longer have that PC. I now only have windows 10 PC's.
Am still using the same PLC with the same rs232 to usb adapter.
Also want to thank you Archie for you help so far and quick responses.

Ok , so i've spent hours last night and today trying every combination of coms settings in the plc and pc and still with no luck.
I have also tried another identical model plc unit and still no luck.  CAS Modbus Scanner on the PC reads the values fine so wouldnt that mean my connection and plc coms settings are ok?

Ok i've now tried using a "basic label" instead and still no readout.. 
Have set EnableLogging to True and the following is the Log from the bin\debug directory after a couple of tests. I'm not sure myself what to make of it?

UPDATE........... I just found this driver error log below,  i guess this is related to it not working but where do i start?

Object name: 'ModbusRTU DLL is disposed'.

No I have nothing else using the port at the same time, and I make sure I always shut down CasModbus Scanner software.  I have also tried on another pc a brand new laptop which only has Advancedhmi and visualcommunity on it and still no success.

Hi All, I'm a newbie.  I'm just trying to display a readout from Unitronics Jazz. I've set it up very simple and followed the ADVHmi quickstart but get nothing.
I have tested PLC to pc connection using CAS Modbus Scanner and as you can see by the screenshots the values are there- the one i want to display is Reg Address 40003.
Hoping someone can offer some help.
Cheers
