Abstract
The invention relates to a system for controlling access to a restricted-access area in a building, which system has a sliding door system and a controller for the sliding door system. The sliding door system has a door frame and a sliding door which can be moved in the door frame between a closed position and an open position by a drive unit. The door frame has a passage region and a wall shell region which at least partially accommodates the sliding door in the open position. A controller is arranged on the sliding door and is communicatively connected to the drive device. The controller is designed to control a movement of the sliding door between the closed position and an open position. An activation device is arranged in an interior of the sliding door and is communicatively connected to the controller. The activation device is designed to generate an activation signal (AS) when a user who wishes to leave the restricted-access zone approaches the sliding door within a specified distance. The controller is designed to cause the sliding door to move from the closed position to the open position when an activation signal (AS) is present.
