What the line item is
S200-IE8 is listed at 0.09 kgs in the spec row. The same 0.09 kgs value is carried on the listed peer MPNs in the same PLC Expansion Modules class.
Where this class earns its place on the BOM
Analog input expansion blocks like the S200-IE8 are specified where a process needs more analog channels than the CPU provides — pump-station level and pressure transmitters, basin instrumentation, or any panel that has grown its analog count past what the base unit can swallow. The form factor stays consistent with the rest of the S200 family, so the row sits in line with the other I/O on the backplane and shares the same field wiring practice as its siblings.
Cross-reference candidates worth weighing
The closest listed peers in the same S200 / Advant expansion-module class are 2011AZ10100A, 3BSE045584R1, and 3BSE037760R1 — all carry the same 0.09 kgs and the same PLC Expansion Modules classification. Whether one of those is a drop-in for a panel originally specified around the S200-IE8 depends on the exact base / firmware the rack was built around, which lives in the controller documentation rather than the part listing itself.
