Hi,
when using closed loop steppers the drive fault can that be wired along with the E-Stop?

Not directly. E-Stop is typically a pair of NC contacts, and drive fault is typically an open collector output.
You could wire all your drive fault outputs to a small auxiliary relay, and then wire that relay in series with the E-Stop.
Yep, that's it. Don't forget the diode to keep the drives safe from back EMF.
