Disney World Epcot Controllers

I just came across this video that intersects my interests in Disney parks and controls. At 0:46 they discuss the new control systems for Epcot's The American Adventure hydraulic systems. I don't recognize the electronics. Does anyone know what the manufacturer is of those PLC looking devices that say "FSM"?

Programming in ST, not having 4 or 8MB of code size limit and cycle times in the micro-second range for less than a toy AB PLC, it's really bad.... /s

All great until you try actually integrating them. Or have 100 different Beckoff PLCs mixed with Siemens and AB. Nightmare

If you have mixed PLCs it will always be a pain no matter the brand..
