PID control loop/Encoder question

Hey guys, I'm a programmer for a rookie team. We're going to try to use Digikey encoders to help with velocity control. I've seen a few websites that help, like:

Once I've figured out the error between requested speed and actual speed, I don't really understand what commands I would send to the motors to make the proper adjustments. Could anyone explain how that would work? Any help is appreciated.
