This is close to what we do, however, our projects are much larger and have
much more different hardware involved.

For a PLC, real-time control is not such a big problem as communication
with the outer world while keeping real-time.

As for GTK, you might find with useful for designing HMI and SCADA:

I do. We have a middleware written in Ada for dealing with various hardware
under real-time constraints, e.g. EtherCAT, CAN, XCP, iTOT, GPIO etc.
Application is mostly in automotive and energy. Some are embedded some are
not.
