I find a severe error in energy plus and don`t understand it!

I am getting the error from "Errors" button but don't know what they mean and how to solve them:

* Severe * FindRootSimpleController: Controller error for controller = "Big Room COOLING COIL CONTROLLER" * ~~~ * Environment=RUN PERIOD, at Simulation time=03/06 14:30 - 14:40 * ~~~ * Controller function is inconsistent with user specified controller action = Reverse action * ~~~ * Actuator will be set to maximum action * ~~~ * Controller control type=Temperature * ~~~ * Controller temperature setpoint = 13.74 [C] * ~~~ * Controller sensed temperature = 13.74 [C] * ~~~ * Controller actuator mass flow rate set to 17.02 [kg/s] * ~~~ * Controller actuator temperature = 7.00 [C] * ~~~ * Note: Chilled water coils should be reverse action and the entering chilled * ~~~ * water temperature (controller actuator temperature) should be below the setpoint temperature * ~~~ * Note: Hot water coils should be normal action and the entering hot * ~~~ * water temperature (controller actuator temperature) should be above the setpoint temperature 1.I have set the plantloop Availability Manager so the cooling coil don`t work On March 6. 2.The controller action=Reverse and I simulate the idf document when I change the controller action=Normal but the error did not change. Thanks a lot!
