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.
