    No won't hurt it them at all.

    Also Suggest you wire the alarms in parallel so if any one trips it turns on a relay. Put the E-stop thru a NC contact of that relay.
    This means the relay will reset when power drops and the drives will reset them selfs. Also you'll avoid any issues with voltage drop wiring in series can give and it's less stress on the drive transistors.
