This recent paper may have some ideas on a dedicated real-time controller that drives hardware, but is controlled over a non-realtime protocol by a PC or handheld device "Real-time environment design for testing advanced control approaches in parallel robots" http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00170-012-4581-6 or http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00170-012-4581-6#page-1 (surprisingly springer seems to allow download of the PDF, at least for me..)
