Не в состоянии прочитать порт COM3. Всегда выход равен 0

This code is able to run, however it only return 0 even though the device has some value. The device is a roller machine where it should give the rolling meter value to the port number 3 however, my code always return the output as 0.

Please help me as soon as possible as this is a critical requirement.
