MCB stands for miniature circuit breaker , which provides protection against over current. the setting is not adjustable.

RCB stands for residual circuit breaker which provides protection against earth fault as well as over current. It monitors the current difference between phase and neutral and if the difference is more than rated value say 200 milli amps it will trip.
