Error in when replacing new chiller

I was working with DOE prototype building in OpenStudio. I has its own chiller and plat loop set. In the setting, all the size are calculated by auto size. But when I tried to replace it with a chiller in library fatal error occurred in running the simulation. The only difference that I've noticed is COP and PLR characteristic of the chiller. I don't know what else I should have done?

I was working with DOE prototype building in OpenStudio. I has have its own chiller and plat loop set. In the setting, all the size are calculated by auto size. But when I tried to replace it with a chiller in library fatal error occurred in running the simulation. The only difference that I've noticed is COP and PLR characteristic of the chiller.

Here are the errors:

** Severe  ** <root>[Chiller:Electric:EIR][90.1-2013 WaterCooled  Centrifugal Chiller 0 718tons 0.6kW/ton] - Missing required property 'chilled_water_inlet_node_name'.
** Severe  ** <root>[Chiller:Electric:EIR][90.1-2013 WaterCooled  Centrifugal Chiller 0 718tons 0.6kW/ton] - Missing required property 'chilled_water_outlet_node_name'.
**  Fatal  ** Errors occurred on processing input file. Preceding condition(s) cause termination.
   ...Summary of Errors that led to program termination:
   ..... Reference severe error count=2
   ..... Last severe error=<root>[Chiller:Electric:EIR][90.1-2013 WaterCooled  Centrifugal Chiller 0 718tons 0.6kW/ton] - Missing required property 'chilled_water_outlet_node_name'.
