LSB
Least Significant Bit
MAC address
The MAC address (Media Access Control) is the hardware address of each single system adaptor. With the MAC
address, the device can be identified unambiguously in the system.
Management Information Base
A Management Information Base (MIB) is a database which saves information and statistics concerning each
device in a network continuously. The performance of each device can be monitored with this information and
statistics. In this way, it can also be ensured that all devices in the network function properly. MIBs are used
with SNMP.
Manufacturing Message Specification
The standard Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) serves for data exchange. The standard is used for
the transmission protocols IEC 61850 and IEC 60870-6 TASE.2.
Measured Value
This data type provides a measured value that can be used as a CFC result, for instance.
Metered value
Metered values are a processing function, used to determine the total number of discrete similar events
(counting pulses), for example, as integral over a time span. In the power supply utility field, electrical energy
is often recorded as a metered value (energy import/delivery, energy transport).

Modbus
The Modbus protocol is a communication protocol. It is based on a Master/Slave or Client/Server architecture.
Model Implementation Conformance Statement
Model Implementation Conformance Statement (see MICS)
The Model Implementation Conformance Statement describes in detail the standard data object models that
are supported by the system or by the device.
Module
Self-contained unit at the device level. This can be a real module or a functional unit of the device.
