The installation package does not include those files. However, you should be able to get them from

https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/tree/develop/testfiles ( Thge files in question ar_ExternalInterface-functionalmockupunit-to-actuator.idf, _ExternalInterface-functionalmockupunit-to-schedule.idf, _ExternalInterface-functionalmockupunit-to-variable.idf).

Since the IDF files of the development branch may differ from the E+ version you are currently using, I suggest to use the files as pointers so you know how to implement the objects in your own IDF file.

The ExternalInterfacesApplicationGuide along with the InputOutputReference and the aformentioned IDF files should be sufficient to get you up to speed so you can set-up a co-simulation example.

If you are still encountering issues, then let me know so I can post a working example file for E+ 9.1.
