Hello Stephane
Please check out: The Enhanced Machine Controller

<snip>
The EMC software is written in C and C++, and has been ported to the
Sun Solaris and PC Linux operating systems. When running actual
equipment, a real-time version of Linux is used to achieve the
deterministic computation rates required (200 microseconds is
typical). The software can also be run entirely in simulation, down to
simulations of the machine motors. This enables entire factories of
EMC machines to be set up and run in a computer integrated
manufacturing environment.
The EMC software is available free of charge on our FTP site. Please
read the README file before getting or installing the software.

This software, using RT-linux, should be well within the requirements
of your project. Whether Windows NT or CE can get even close to this
performance, is another issue ;-)
Regards,
Nils Ulltveit-Moe
