Simply put, FSM (Finite State Machine) differs from a

Turing Machine in that it has a finite number of states and produces output through a state graph based on incoming input

Finite Automaton

This is a drawing of a toy parser finite automaton, probably generated by Yacc. The rankdir=LR attribute requests a left-to-right drawing, oriented in landscape mode. Note the use of text labels on edges. Computation begins at node 0, and ends at "accept state" nodes, marked with double-circles.
