Can you clarify what you mean?  I see (3) different possibilities:

* 4-20 mA analog input you want to read (TS7300 as process monitor)
* 4-20 mA output, ie, setpoint, (TS7300 as process transmitter)
* Current loop serial communication: like RS-232 but using current level to 
signal.  Does anybody do that anymore?  I haven't seen that for decades; last 
time was on a DataGeneral minicomputer.

Really though, any one of these will be hard to do with DIO alone.  RS-232 to 
current loop converters are (or were) available for the third option.  Analog 
input will need an A/D converter, and analog output will a DAC (that you could 
drive with DIO).
