I believe the ML1000 Communications is just a standard RS-232 Port that supports DF-1 and DH-485 Protocols with an 8 Pin DIN Connector. So, the 1747-UIC is not the right tool for the job.
You need a 1761-CBL-PM02 DB-9 to DIN Cable or something similar.
See Chapter 3 of the User Manual.

Do you have a real Hardware Serial Port on your PC?
If so, try the RS-232 DF1 Devices Driver. Under Device select SLC-CH0/Micro/PanelView. Leave everything else at the Default Value for now.
If you don't have a Hardware Serial Port, that will be a different solution.

In that case you are going to setup a USB to Serial Converter, and then select its Comm Port in the DF1 Driver.
A lot of Members on the Forum have had good success with the USA-HS19.

Unfortunately, not all USB to Serial Converters are equal, and many don't work well with PLCs.

I thought the 1747-UIC was only for USB to DH-485 (RS-485) conversion, but maybe not. I just downloaded the Manual, and I will have a look.

I apologize, I have never use the 1747-UIC Converter. It appears that it could work with the proper Cable from the Converter to the ML1000, and if it is switched to RS-232 Mode.

Stu's most recent post is correct: you can connect to an SLC-500 or MicroLogix controller's RS-232 port configured with DH485 protocol, using the 1747-UIC and an appropriate cable.
The appropriate cable, in this case, is the 1761-CBL-PM02. That's the standard programming cable that's been used for MicroLogix 1000 controllers since 1995.
If you know that the MicroLogix 1000 has been configured to make DH485 the "primary protocol", this arrangement should work right away.
