Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a system for remotely controlling a running tool to install equipment in a subsea well through a subsea structure. The system comprises: a control device for controlling the running tool; and a communication module for wirelessly communicating with the control device. Both the control device and the communication module include wireless communication interfaces for communicating subsea with each other through the subsea structure when the control device is provided internally to the subsea structure and the communication module is provided externally to the subsea structure. The memory of the control device is configured with state identifiers for representing internal states of the running tool and programs that are associated with operations for controlling the running tool. Also, the control device is configured to: receive commands from the communication module; execute the programs based on the command; and return a state identifier for representing a current internal state of the running tool.
