Yes, the PID component MUST have positive tuning coeficients. If you need to 
reverse the feedback, change the sign of the output scale.

The reason I emphasize this is that the PID compnent has a bug with negative 
tuning parameters that can lead to runaway on an otherwise properly setup 
control loop that saturates.
