Can anyone give me a brief overview of what 3 point relay control? I believe it may also be termed Hi / Lo control.

can you tell us more about the application?
i am not sure if a "3 point control relay" is a universal term....could be different in some textbooks

From what I can gather 3 point relay control or hi / lo control, is used as an alternative for temperature control e.g. for the control of an air damper against full PID modulating control.
 
Sounds like you are going for 'digital control'. :)

The max speed must be more than enough to satisfy the process. Easiest way is to have one thermostat controlling the low speed function and a second TS bringing on the high speed winding if the motor low speed is insufficient (after a short time delay) to satisfy temperature.

Two stage control is a more common term, if the above describes your intent.
