Robustness is one of the requirements used in controllers and compensators design. The designs presented in the previous papers did not consider the robustness of the controller or compensator. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to investigate the robustness of feedback first-order lag-lead, feedforward second-order lag-lead and feedforward first-order lag-lead compensators used to control second-order processes against uncertainty in the process parameters. A variation of ± 20 % in process parameters is considered through simulation to study its effect on the system performance parameters using the tuned controllers. With a feedback first-order lag-lead compensator controlling a highly oscillating second order process, the variation in process natural frequency and damping ratio has small effect on the maximum percentage overshoot, settling time and the phase margin of the control system. The phase margin is above 74 degrees for all the changes in the processparameters providing robust compensator characteristics. The phase margin of the control system using the proposed compensators for the range of the variation of the process parameters is above 56 degrees, the maximum percentage overshoot for a step input is less than 11.5 % and the settling time does not exceed 1.41 seconds indicating the robustness of the three compensators.
