There were different situations in PIE at different times.  At one time there must have been the classic three-series dorsals, as reconstructed.  Before that, they may have been a different three-way series, or a two-way series, or only one.  There may have been a stage in between.  So if your conlang is based on PIE, you need to decide which stage of PIE it is going to be based on.
