[gmx-users] Fatal error: Not enough ref_t and tau_t values!

Dear All,

My system is a protein embedded in tip4 water.
oplsaa force field is used.
Trying to mdrun it at NPT.

Question:
When running grompp one gets output:
>Setting particle type to Dummy for dummy atoms
>Walking down the molecule graph to make shake-blocks
>initialising group options...
>processing index file...
>Making dummy/rest group for T-Coupling containing 22354 elements
>Fatal error: Not enough ref_t and tau_t values!

So it seems to me that grompp generates new temperature group
(for dummy atoms of tip4 water?)
but cannot find ref_t and tau_t values.

Tried adding more ref_t and tau_t values in .mdp file but that also causes
fatal error.

Is there a way around?
My .mdp file is below
