The superconducting recirculating electron linear accelerator S-DALINAC is the central large-scale research device of the institute for nuclear physics at the TU Darmstadt in Germany. In 2015/2016 the S-DALINAC received an upgrade to three recirculations. The new beam line enables in addition to higher maximum energies the possibility to operate the S-DALINAC as an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL). Therefore the current rf control system encounters new requirements for ERL operation. Since 2010 a digital rf control system is successfully used for the control of the superconducting cavities. This system was not built and optimized for the control of an ERL. This contribution is discussing the expected challenges of an ERL operation regarding the existing digital rf control system.
