I was wondering if there are any input pins for external faults? I want to be able to inhibit the cycle start on my turning center if the lube cycle is not seen in a set amount of time

Can you use halui.abort or halui.program.stop?

Is this the same as an external e stop?

I _think_ that the button in Axis is hard-wired, so there isn't a trivial way to block it.

You can almost certainly perform some magic in a .axisrc file to link the "enabled" property of the button to an external HAL pin.

Alternatively, some logic between the program.is-running pin and your external signal should be possible, so that you set halui.abort if fault && NOT program.is-running.
