<strong>XI</strong>/<strong>ON</strong>: Gateways for Modbus TCP 10 Glossary<br />
L<br />
M<br />
P<br />
Lightning protection<br />
All measures taken to protect a system from damage due to overvoltages<br />
caused by lightning strike.<br />
Low impedance connection<br />
Connection with a low AC impedance.<br />
LSB<br />
Least Significant bit<br />
Mass<br />
All interconnected inactive components that do not take on a<br />
dangerous touch potential in the case of a fault.<br />
Master<br />
Station in a bus system that controls the communication between<br />
the other stations.<br />
Modbus TCP<br />
The Modbus protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol.<br />
The communication is realized via function codes, which are implemented<br />
into the data telegram. Modbus TCP uses the Transport<br />
Control Protocol (TCP) for the transmission of the Modbus user<br />
protocol in Ethernet-TCP-IP networks.<br />
Module bus<br />
The module bus is the internal bus in a station. The modules<br />
communicate with the gateway via the module bus which is independent<br />
of the fieldbus.<br />
MSB<br />
Most Significant bit<br />
Ping<br />
Implementation of an echo-protocol, used for testing whether a<br />
particular host is operating properly and is reachable on the network<br />
from the testing host.<br />
