Subsea control module with removable section and method

A method for assembling a control module having a fixed part and a removable section, the method comprising:

• configuring the fixed part of the control module to be attached to a pressure supply line for receiving a fluid under pressure;
• providing in the fixed part a valve manifold that houses a hydraulic activated valve;
• detachably attaching the removable section of the control module to the fixed part;
• fluidly connecting an electrically activated valve of the removable section to the hydraulic activated valve such that the electrically activated valve controls the hydraulic activated valve;
• configuring the electrically activated valve to electrically connect to a control section;
• and
• providing on the removable section a wet-mate electrical connector configured to be connected to a corresponding wet-mate electrical connector on the fixed part for receiving electrical signals to actuate the electrically actuated valve.

A method for assembling a control module having a fixed part and a removable section, the method comprising:

• connecting a first base to a valve manifold that houses a hydraulic activated valve to form the fixed part;
• connecting a second base to an electrically activated valve to form the removable section;
• configuring the removable section to detachably attach to the fixed part;
• configuring the hydraulic activated valve of the fixed part to be actuated by the electrically activated valve when the removable section is mated to the fixed part;
• providing all functional connections between the fixed part and the removable section such that all functional connections are provided between a flat first surface of the fixed part and a flat second surface of the removable section;
• wherein the functional connections include all hydraulic connections between hydraulic activated valves of the fixed part and electrically activated valves of the removable section;
• and
• wherein the functional connections further include a locking device configured to secure the removable section to the fixed part, guides configured to facilitate a mating between the fixed part and the removable section, and electrical connectors configured to electrically connect the fixed part to the removable section.
